[question] Why uTLS was removed

[kotori2]

There were discussions about TLS fingerprint back to Dec 2019, they came up with a solution using uTLS.

But soon after v2fly detached from v2ray main stream, @RPRX submitted a commit deleting uTLS support. I'm wondering the reason why the community stopped support for mocking TLS fingerprint.

Also some discussions at #557

问原因没意义了，过去了的事情。@RPRX 的TG账号已经超过1年没登录。

Times changed, we should re-evaluation the value of incorporating uTLS.

浏览器转发比uTLS更加好一点吧，uTLS早晚也要被攻破的

与你们猜测的原因均无关，其实只需往上看上一个 commit / PR 就能得到答案：e465312 #59

当时我给 v2ray 加了 Linux RISC-V 64 的编译，但 uTLS 这个依赖项存在问题，由于它并没有被实际用到，所以为了使编译通过，它被暂时移除了（相关代码被注释，而不是删除，以便日后加回来），并且我向 uTLS 提了 issue：refraction-networking/utls#49

仅此而已，这一行为不包含任何“我们是否应当使用 uTLS”的价值取向或价值导向。
