Indeed. In gnutls, however, we never used RC2-40, we had support for
RC4-40 only. Nowdays the export ciphersuites have been dropped so we
don't have either.

However, RC2-40 is used in gnutls to decrypt PKCS #12 files, so it
would be good for RC2-40 to remain so that decryption of any existing
files will remain possible.
