Why?  To make it more wordy?  Strongly -1, this is why too many users get
their cipherlists wrong, they change one thing in an overly complex
expression already.  EXP is classified LOW, already excluded above.

openssl ciphers 'cipherlist'

with and optional -v arg will show you the resulting matchset of any
particular cipher list against the compiled-in ciphers.  Therefore...

openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:!HIGH:!MEDIUM' | grep exp

Note that this was not an editorial commit, it was a scope change that was
buried hidden from the 2.4 commit log.  This simply brings 2.2 in line with
2.4 and trunk.

It's branded as less secure as things stand.  I'd be happy if we ripped
that example from all 2.2/2.4/trunk branches.

That said, if you want to retain it, do you have benchmarks to point us at?

Happy to consider such a proposal.
