Those numbers wouldn't justify a change to me.  When we make decisions
about what we break with TLS by disabling something that is maybe
dangerous, we try to avoid changes that break any more than 0.1% of
our population.  It looks like we are almost there, but unlike some of
the security changes, we can't just provide motivation to change [1]
because requesting a hardware change is a pretty high bar to clear.

[1] The normal process is announcements about deprecation, blog
postings about how X is or might be broken, etc...
