    In addition to the security concerns, it is now a violation of RFC7465 to offer a cipher suite with RC4 in a ClientHello: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7465

    It's clearly no longer acceptable to include RC4 when the IETF has felt it necessary to publish an RFC prohibiting its usage.

    Sounds fine to me. Should a test be added?
