Oh, sorry for saying otherwise. It seems pipermail does not provide
links when a thread span over two months.

As for the last paragraph, OpenSSL team said API compatibility with the
patchset is a non-goal and it was also said they would like to not use
the same approach by unifying the various way to handle TLS flavors. So
it seems likely QuicTLS will die at some point. However, QUIC support
will appear during a major version of OpenSSL, so previous version
supporting the QuicTLS patchset will continue to receive security
support and I suppose that it gives time for the few users to migrate
to the proper OpenSSL API.

I can relay your questions directly to QuicTLS on GitHub unless you want
to do it yourself.
