naif <n...@globaleaks.org> added the comment:

It would be also useful to "Sort" the order of ciphers by it's strength.

This is done by the parameter @STRENGTH" :

>From http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html

"Additionally the cipher string @STRENGTH can be used at any point to sort the 
current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length."

In that case the default cipher string would become:
"HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!MD5:@STRENGTH"

The logic for third party developers could be explained as:

Only =>128bit ciphers
Disable unauthenticated ciphers
Disable SSLv2 protocol
Disable weak MD5 hash as authentication
Sort the cipher preferences by it's strength
