Just deprecate and default is enough. Don't remove anything. You never know
in what environment a program must run: it can be that it must be able to 
talk to an old server with no support for the newer protocols. (or vice versa)
In each case, the openssl unit must be reviewed to check for 1.1 of openssl.
