Suppose someone finds out that chacha/poly is insecure and the IETF issues a 
new RFC that says "TLS 1.3 MUST NOT use" that cipher.  Should the openssl alias 
change?

It can be wordy, but explicitly listing ciphers and not using aliases (HIGH 
EXPORT etc) is really better.

As for ease of use, just don't allow the ciphers to be configured.
