sslv2 should not be deprecated yet. in the field of security research it is highly valuable to locate servers that are still using sslv2 because it is a security risk. i'm fine with making it not used by default, but there is no reason to remove the capability from the language itself. thats way overkill. once sslv2 is no longer in the wild i have no problem with deprecation but the fact is that there is still a strong reason to keep the capability around.
