On re-reading the above message, I apologise if the language I used was
provocative. However, the points I made are nevertheless valid in my
opinion.

Proposing cutting off maintenance of the only maintained route to
decrypt certain data is provocative, of course. ;-) As I observed, it is
not necessary to cut off maintained ability to decrypt historical data
(surely a valid real world use case) in order to prevent users from
encrypting new data with legacy standards.
