1) Are distributions/users comfortable with this approach in the time
frame proposed?

As a user, this is acceptable for me, but I know there are still
machines outside that only offer such old versions.
Some of them can't be upgraded easily because the vendor doesn't
provide any new versions.

3) If the deprecated protocols are re-enabled, what would constitute a
reasonable warning mechanism to inform users that these protocols are
going away at some point in the future to pressure users to update to
a newer, more secure protocol?

Is it reasonable to output that on STDERR any time those protocols are
used?

Maybe log to syslog?
