In Java, we treat both as weak after JDK-8139348 (the title is "Deprecate 3DES and RC4 in Kerberos" but this "deprecate" is not the same as the one in MIT krb5). This means when "allow_weak_crypto = true" we've already removed RC4. Since this code change is about removing weak etypes from the default "permitted_enctypes", we should be consistent.
