The devices will negotiate the best possible encryption available to both. If 
you disable TLS 1.0 (or even SSL) you risk defaulting to plain text. (The 
definition of “best” in above is an open issue.)

Wietse and Viktor are very meticulous with the defaults. Unless you have some 
very specific requirements or knowledge, I doubt you will improve the security 
by changing the settings.
