Based on the lack of vulnerabilities of those limited set of
algorithms (excluding SHA1 -- another topic entirely), it would seem
to be prudent to "refine" the number of acceptable algorithms.  When
the SHA family is eventually supplanted and Camellia cipher officially
recognized, I only see this list expanding, not shrinking!
