 Cloudflare is all for TLS 1.3, so why the captcha?

 A Detailed Look at RFC 8446 (a.k.a. TLS 1.3) 10 Aug 2018 by Nick Sullivan
 https://blog.cloudflare.com/rfc-8446-aka-tls-1-3/
 > TLS 1.3 is a modern security protocol built with modern tools like
 formal analysis that retains its backwards compatibility. It has been
 tested widely and iterated upon using real world deployment data. It’s a
 cleaner, faster, and more secure protocol ready to become the de facto
 two-party encryption protocol online. Draft 28 of TLS 1.3 is enabled by
 default for all Cloudflare customers, and we will be rolling out the final
 version soon.
 > Publishing TLS 1.3 is a huge accomplishment. It is one the best recent
 examples of how it is possible to take 20 years of deployed legacy code
 and change it on the fly, resulting in a better internet for everyone. TLS
 1.3 has been debated and analyzed for the last three years and it’s now
 ready for prime time. Welcome, RFC 8446.
