- * Inconsistency alert:
- * The OpenSSL names of ciphers with ephemeral DH here include the string
- * "DHE", while elsewhere it has always been "EDH".
- * (The alias for the list of all such ciphers also is "EDH".)
- * The specifications speak of "EDH"; maybe we should allow both forms
- * for everything. */
+ * Backward compatibility alert:
+ * Older versions of OpenSSL gave some DHE ciphers names with "EDH"
+ * instead of "DHE".  Going forward, we should be using DHE
+ * everywhere, though we may indefinitely maintain aliases for users
+ * or configurations that used "EDH"
