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.
