If You Can Read This, You're SNIing

SNI is the default for Google App Engine - as market share of SNI sites increases the few RSS readers that don't currently support it will be forced to update or be ditched in favour of ones that do.

We shouldn't let old code hold back the web.

Agreed. You can probably drop SSL connections in favour of TLS only if you do this, too. I've done this on my work and personal sites and everything works fine for modern browsers.

For example, the config for your Nginx server block can go like this, with no need to support SSL at all.

> ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

I realise this excludes some traffic and I'm okay with it.

I have taken exactly the same stance which has the added benefit you can also drop the vulnerable RC4 cyphers.

Yep, if you are requiring SNI, SSLv3 might as well be disabled as SNI will never work with it.
