Sure, but =E2=80=A6 TLS 1.2 is almost ten years old. 1.1 is only barely =
older.  What operating systems don=E2=80=99t support TLS 1.2, but are =
otherwise functional / reasonable enough that you=E2=80=99d be =
installing anything new?  (And if you are running something that old, =
downloading over TLS shouldn=E2=80=99t be your top priority problem).
