I'm curious, were you upset when Java (and various other software
packages that use SSL) were updated to stop using SSLv3?  Surely this
would have caused problems with any testing infrastructure that wasn't
open to the world that used pre-generated SSL certificates.  The
decision to disable it was made by the packagers of the software
because of security implications.  Sure, SSLv3 still works, it's just
not secure.  It's just some arrogant nutter who thinks that maybe we
shouldn't be using it anymore.
