RC4 (or arc4) is a good example here: there are a few areas where its use is still somewhat acceptable, e.g., for interoperability with legacy wifi hardware that can only use WEP or TKIP data encryption, but that should not imply that, for instance, use of RC4 based EAP-TLS by the WPA supplicant for negotiating TKIP keys is equally acceptable, or that RC4 should remain available as a general purpose cryptographic transform for all in-kernel and user space clients. Now that all in-kernel users that need to retain support have moved to the arc4 library interface, and the known users of ecb(arc4) via the socket API (iwd [0] and libell [1][2]) have been updated to switch to a local implementation, we can take the next step, and mark the ecb(arc4) skcipher as obsolete, and only provide it if the socket API is enabled in the first place, as well as provide the option to disable all algorithms that have been marked as obsolete.
