Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:3 yawning]:
 > What is suggested will force correct behavior in the latter case, at the
 expense of not being able to connect at all to servers exhibiting the
 former behavior.  This is a usability vs security tradeoff, and my concern
 would be that people fall back to plain http when they can't reach a site
 over https (No crypto vs theoretically/speculatively weak crypto).

 Are there any estimates on how many servers (and which) use the weaker
 encryption by default? If it is only a small portion (and no major sites,
 only obscure rarely visited ones), I'm sure the security tradeoff is very
 much worth it.
