If we're going to end up adding ECDHE support, and if it isn't supported
everywhere yet, I'm pretty sure support for it all shouldn't be enabled
automatically upon upgrades, and that it should be enabled manually by
admins instead, following instructions that include incompatibility
warnings (hello, page 51 of the draft at https://bettercrypto.org/).
