Well, of *course* any minssl option stopped being useful when there was a major
interoperability break!  That's an out-of-context change.  It could not have
been otherwise.

There may be good arguments against a mintls option.  This is not among them.
It's like saying minimum compiler version requirements are pointless because
the codebase might move to a different language.
