`aries-cloudagent-python` and `aries-framework-dotnet` propose to switch from the `connections` protocol to the `did-exchange` protocol the week after IIW (Oct. 6-11). It will take most of the week to get all implementations and documentation updated and deployed.
Request from @Troy Ronda that those interested in using JWE for pack()/unpack() (aka Encryption Envelope) push on getting that issue resolved. Issue 133, RFC 0019.
