Sure there is:  it's an accurate description of the quality of protection 
provided by the algorithm. :)

It's also compatible with our documentation, which as was pointed out, always 
uses the word "currently" to describe the magic keywords.

And it's also planned for the next version which won't be available until near 
the end of the year.

And it's also compliant with the expected publication of the IETF RFC's that 
talk about TLS configuration and attacks.

Postfix can work lay the groundwork to be future-compliant by changing its 
default configuration to be HIGH:MEDIUM:RC4.
