I completely agree,though I do not think there are planned mechanisms for this purpose. Though I put it harshly I'm only blocking servers I already can't communicate with.However I personally make sure to answer any user requests and so far anyone that had contacted me asking why certain servers couldn't be contacted has received a clear,polite explanation.Server lists tend to show SSL rating or information which is a good thing too.I will happily implement any mechanisms that allow me to increase the security and knowledge of my users though.

What we need to be doing is putting information about the quality of
encryption used in a conversation in front of the users, and letting
them make informed decisions, instead of fracturing the network
invisibly.

Is there any defined mechanism to do this? Users are accustomed to the
little padlock icons on web URLs, can XMPP client software easily
implement something like this or will it need server extensions to
report back? As a temporary measure, could the server send a direct
message to a user alerting them if the encryption on a connection they
initiate falls below a desired threshold?

Inform the users, don't cut them off from their contacts and leave
them no path to even tell them why.

 Great idea, LOL. Do you have gmail.com and all its hosted domains
 blocked already? They don't have any "secrecy" at all.
