In CMS, Peter Gutmann wrote RFC 6475 because he wanted a way to provide 
authenticated encryption on platforms that did not support AES-GCM or AES-CCM. 
I suggest that there are still many fewer of these platforms today, but there 
may still be a significant number of them.  Having AES-CBC with HMAC seems like 
a good idea to me.
