You can see the discussion about that here:

ah, thanks.  It's too bad that discussion isn't mirrored on

  https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3120

Which basicly says that clients can reject it if they want, but I
rather see some sane default.

Given that i've never seen a client actually verify that this value meets their security expectations, having a sane default baked in would be a good idea.

Either that, or the OpenSSL project needs to give much stronger explicit guidance to its users about how to verify the security parameters of its sessions.
