 RC period

 Now that 4.6 is out, is now a good time to have another look at getting
 this into core?

 I think the main motivator to get this done is that in June 2017 PayPal
 will ONLY be accepting TLS1.2 connections (see https://devblog.paypal.com
 /upcoming-security-changes-notice/ in section "TLS 1.2 Upgrade"), so it
 would be nice to have this change in WP core well before then, otherwise
 every plugin/theme that uses PayPal will need to hook into curl etc
 themselves (and hope their users upgrade on time).
