I could have told you that, and probably should have.  We tried deploying 
such a change back in November and immediately ran into several clients and 
servers that support only CBC-mode ciphers, even before the change made it 
out of alpha testing.  Unfortunately, some of these cannot easily be 
upgraded.  This has led me to strongly favor specifying more than one 
mandatory-to-implement algorithm in future protocols.
