To be fair, the previous standard approach of taking a list of versions
did work across this change. While we're at the end of it, it's only
been very recently (like the last year) where turning off SSLv3 became a
hard requirement in certain standards.

To be clear, I agree that a minimum version is fine moving forward. But
so is a list of versions, too. Pick one and call it a day.
