Not sure why this is 2/2 as it seems unrelated to 1/2.
Indeed I applied and reviewed this patch alone.

It does what it says and imho it is pretty clean.

Tested with a client that connects against a server having default
ciphers. The client, if willing, can specify chacha20poly1305 only and
connect with it.

This is a sensible change which IMHO will make a lot of people happy.
