Does anything still use RC4? What will happen if the browser doesn't
allow it, will access be prohibited, or might some sites downgrade to
plain HTTP? It would be a shame to go from poor security to absolutely
no security -- or no access -- on some non-upgradable servers (e.g.,
old hardware with old firmware). 

Disclaimer: this doesn't affect me (as far as I know.)
