Sorry, but I am. The defaults need to work out there in the real world. If 
legacy standards are still widespread, they need to be supported out of the 
box, without having to jump through hoops. Users want to be able to connect 
to their WPA* WiFi networks, view their HTTPS websites, etc. They do not 
care whether those use the latest, most secure versions of the standard or 
not. (In fact, most users do not even care that encryption is used at all, 
they only use encryption at all because the other end forces them to, i.e., 
because the WiFi network requires it, or the website uses HTTP to HTTPS 
redirection and/or HSTS, etc.)
