This will remove a feature from the QUIC protocol, so I'd be
interested in hearing the QUIC team's opinion.

Since DHE-based 0-RTT is already specified in the TLS 1.3 draft, I'm
not sure if "simplier to specify" should be an important factor.
However, "simpler to implement" is an important consideration. I am
curious to know how we concluded that 0-RTT PSK is simpler to
implement. Did anyone implement both 0-RTT modes and can compare the
difficulties?

As for 0-RTT PSK having better performance, that comes at the cost of
a previous full handshake with the server. Also, TLS 1.3 clients that
want to do 0-RTT PSK across an application shutdown will need to deal
with the harder problem of storing PSKs persistently.
