[e2e] Question about RFC 2581

If I understand you correctly, isn't that still an "exploitation" of an
RFC 2581 "quirk"?

I think ABC should be strongly encouraged. IMHO, SHOULD ABC with L = 1
seems conservative enough, and still considerably strong to me. That gives
room for someone with a good reason to NOT implement ABC, to do so.

regards,
