Within the last 12 months, I had to write a script for a buddy at work that turned off availability of freaking freaking 56 bit DES in OpenSSH, which was available because was provided by openssl. I'm certain it was still there to provide compatibility for something(s) critical out there that depends on it, and while I can't imagine why anybody would choose to use it, it's there and it's awful.
