Why does Whimsy override apache::mod::ssl::ssl_protocol: ?

whimsy-vm*.yaml have:
apache::mod::ssl::ssl_protocol: ['all', '-SSLv2', '-SSLv3']

AFAICT this overrides the default, which is

apache::mod::ssl::ssl_protocol: ['all', '-SSLv2', '-SSLv3', '-TLSv1',
'-TLSv1.1']

Is there a reason for the override?

Without explicitly disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1, doesn't that open the
config up to TLS downgrade attacks? Just because RC4 is disabled isn't
enough to patch up old TLS protocol versions. It should be using 1.2
minimum.
