No one has let us know that they have plans to work on any XDMCP enhancements.
When I did the IPv6 changes to XDMCP many years ago, I also proposed moving
from 3DES to AES encryption, but that was deferred due to lack of interest
from anyone with a strong encryption background  to review the changes to
ensure we hadn't made a subtle yet fatal mistake.
