By all means, don't use it, but it is not OpenSSL's choice to make
by breaking the meaning of existing interfaces.
If you put RC4 in LOW, one can no longer exclude LOW ciphers if
one still needs RC4. Nobody uses single-DES, but enough peers
still use (only) RC4 to make disabling of RC4 a choice best made
by applications.
