Yeah, but you need to be careful. There are products out there that simply can't handle anything but the weakest of options. So, I'm sure when people try to ratchet up the algos they use, there will be issues.

This was mentioned in previous email as well.

to be blacklisted such that they will not be accepted if the SP uses
them. This allows the IdP deployer to "ban" algorithms that they feel
are too weak.

Good points. I love getting rid of the weaker ciphers were I can.
