RFC 5246 speaks of "Application Profiles" and it seems like this
discussion that started to simplify the WG load is now getting mixed
with that idea:

   In the absence of an application profile standard specifying
   otherwise, a TLS-compliant application MUST implement the cipher
   suite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (see Appendix A.5 for the
   definition).

The worry about IoT above makes me suspect there might be a use for an
IoT application profile, presumably geared towards simplicity and
compactness.  Such a profile could make its own choices, possibly as a
subset from the Y markers and possibly enhanced with industry-driven
desires.
