Yes, in the current stable version camellia is often negiotiated
if the server supports it because it's almost always above the
AES ciphers in the list.  The biggest exception to that is ECDHE,
because there is no camellia cipher of that.

I think that the new order makes more sense, and at least in
aurora the order has changed now.
