I'd also kick 3DES and SEED. The former because of attacks on the edge
of practicality for a large attacker, the latter for little information
on the cipher and few cipher suites based on it.

When configuring Apache take care to use 2.2.35 or 2.4.7 with __recent__
OpenSSL 1.0.1f (sometimes OpenSSL 1.0.1e with some distro-stuff behind
for patchlevel).
