We could but it actually wouldn't have any direct impact since those 
suites are already the lowest in priority.

More recently, we don't include specific instructions to re-enable it as 
it is usually just the reverse of the instructions for testing. However, 
the current instructions don't list the TLS_RSA wildcard (since support 
for that was added after the Crypto Roadmap action for the disabling), 
so that should be updated, and I'll file an issue to get that corrected.
