I wonder what is your plan moving forward. Is it going to be 'TLS policy'? Or
are you planning to generalize it in future?

E.g. DNSSEC-related software can be configured which algorithm list and key
sizes too. I guess that the same applies to GnuPG.

In other words, should the policy be able to express something like
'do not trust MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, RSA < 1024 bits anymore'
?

IMHO it would be extremely handy - it would allow us to quickly react when
something is seriously broken without patching all affected applications in
Fedora.
