The problem with TripleDES is that it is the only implicit symmetric
algorithm preference.  This makes it hard to remove.  However there is a
way to do that: We should define a new key flag requesting the use of
the to-be-specified new Symmetrically Encrypted Data Packet.  That new
data packet will require the use of a 128 bit block length algorithm and
can also require that AESnnn is the new implicit symmetric algorithm
preference.
