I don't think its possible to go one API / method at a time. If we want to turn on a feature by default, it has to either be non-backwards compatible or not break any existing API.

This is a problem for Trust Expressions because exposing the TLS certificate to the application is a major part of pretty much all existing library APIs and the library doesn't know what the application is going to enforce (or expect) about those certificates. This makes it hard (impossible?) for Trust Expressions to accurately convey the application's policy or to be used to experiment with the certificate format.

Best,
Dennis

I agree that I didn’t provide a comprehensive answer, only that it was possible, perhaps one API at a time.  So maybe that addresses many legacy apps.

But you are totally right that the surface area is MUCH bigger than that.
