I'm very much in favour of deprecating pre-TLSv1.2 versions, and this seems
like a good time to start.

As far as usage goes, it's still quite significant, at least as far as
Cloudflare is concerned. See the chart from a couple of months ago at:
https://blog.cloudflare.com/you-get-tls-1-3-you-get-tls-1-3-everyone-gets-tls-1-3/

Particularly for TLSv1.0, which is still at ~10% of all TLS connections we see,
while TLSv1.1 is at ~0.2%. Given this it's unlikely we (Cloudflare) will be
able to disable them by default any time soon, but we might be able to
understand the situation better once we do a more thorough analysis.

Cheers
