gollark: I love how it's an unfathomable binary protocol which nevertheless includes much text.
gollark: According to random internet people who are inherently trustworthy, good cryptography protocols should *not* allow much choice due to downgrade attacks etc., and just have a single good set (per version).
gollark: An actual SSH server has similarly unreasonable amounts.
gollark: Also, why the *bee* does it have so many ciphersuites? This is poor design.
gollark: Rude.
