I’m not being condescending.
Anyways, if a serious exploit is found in the TLS stack, I would expect what you would want to do is update to the inevitable security release for your current stable version of Go. They do in fact do security releases, so it shouldn’t be a huge problem.
That leaves the only logical reason to need this lever as basically just one thing: you are dealing with broken software and need the cipher suite order to be suboptimal. And yes, I expect someone to need to fork the TLS stack for that, unless it’s common enough that many people would need to do that.
If my TLS stack is not updating in response to new security threats, that really poses a bigger problem to me than not having the levers to try to mitigate them on my own.
