I just thought of another reason to leave Camellia-192 out: if we

to get rid of it later.
As much as I think that 192-bit encryption is stupid, many people have
impressed upon me reasons it exists, none of which are technical.
I grit my teeth and hold my nose as I say this, but we have to have it.
Ok, it's a mild ugliness, but it isn't actually harming anything.
I'll rev the draft and add it.
