| Should we think about removing 3des from the default proposal set?

I don't (yet) see a security reason to do so.  That incidental comment
in a blog post hardly justifies such a reaction.  Maybe my response to
the crypto list will elicit a better explanation.

There might be a performance reason to not use it, but that isn't so
serious as to drop support.
