> but gnutls does default to 2^14+1, so a server that replies with a lower value, will force that asymmetricity; also as we discussed

This is already covered by the new unit tests, where server and client sends different limits.

> also as we discussed, if the server does reply with 64, the client has only two options: comply or abort connection, it can't retroactively un-negotiate the extension

This still sounds out-of-scope.  Regardless of this MR, the client aborts when it receives smaller limits than 512.
