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.
