In principle no. The main consideration with this kind of change is whether the new default is available to the currently supported installed base. (E.g. if we "support" fedora 12 and fedora 12's openssl doesn't have aes256, then there's a problem.) I don't think that there are any actual issues here, but that's the underlying question I think. So +0, +1 if it's certain that aes256 is pretty much universal at this point. -- David Champion • [email protected]
