I'd love to lock out TLS 1.0 but if you do that anyone still running
anything that uses XP cannot connect.

There ARE people out there still using that in the wild.  Not a huge
number, but a material number.  On several relatively large systems I
monitor the "in the wild" user count for Windows XP is still around 4%
of all users to the sites.

Same problem with RC4.  I'd love to lock that out too, but see above --
that means 4% of the users can't connect (at all.)
