"Legacy SSL" is just clients mislabelling the option. It just means doing
SSL/TLS unnegotiated instead of via STARTTLS. Clients should be preferring
newer TLS for that, just the same as STARTTLS..

So it's no less secure in and of itself, although if clients then do
XEP-0078 afterwards that's another matter..
