I think this should go.  It's likely a leftover from the dawn of times
(like, 2.4 era).

2.6 will not advertise or use BF-CBC by itself, defaulting to the
AES-GCM + CHACHA (if available) ciphers, negotiating between client 
and server what is available.

As in: with 2.5 and 2.6, --cipher and --data-ciphers usually should not
be touched, except if needed to be compatible with pre-2.4 clients that
default to BF-CBC and can not negotiate something else.
