   There are very sound reasons to disallow the use of TLS 1.0 entirely.   
   Namely: downgrade attacks.  There is no conspiracy.   
      
   (That being said, I'm not sure what browser vendors were smoking when   
     they decided that a self-signed certificate is cause for a   
     !sensationalistic! warning, but an unencrypted connection is not.)

   Not really.  You can (relatively) trivially compile old versions of   
   chrome/firefox.
