that's the thing about old protocols, it doesn't matter whether you
want them not to be used, some shitty gear might come with them
anyway.

what we try to provide here is called interoperability.

unlike linux, programs are limited to safer algorithms by default, so
it looks unused.

the balance to make is between maintainability and interoperability.
removing something is more work than not removing something.
