I appreciate the suggestion. The concern is that configuration of the algorithm 
selection is extremely challenging.  Suppose that
an administrator wishes to change algorithms.  If manual, individual 
configuration is the only possible way, then the network is
at risk while the configuration is in progress. At scale, this seemed 
inadvisable.  A clear, signaled change seemed like a clean and
simple synchronization point.
