People that care for support of Windows XP or Windows 2003 will use 3DES 
either way. People that don't care about those OSes, are probably already 
doing everything to not negotiate it, if only to conserve TLS terminator 
resources.

When RC4 die-die-die was published, a lot of servers negotiated RC4 (because 
of BEAST), it's not the case with 3DES.
