I don't.  Opinions may differ, but I am not a fan of this particular kind
of "algorithm agility".

Pick a small set of ciphersuites, chosen for backwards compatibility with peers
that do only the minimum the standards mandate as a first criterion, and
the consensus of experts about the best current and future alternatives,
and forget the rest.  Often all they can buy you is confusion and trouble.

I would like to see, at most, four ciphersuites supported by default.
