Update on this: Christian & I both like the SSL named context and
customisation idea independently of the proposal to change the default
behaviour, so we're going to write it up as a separate PEP.

Changing the default behaviour would then be reduced to a proposal to take
a couple of module names off the "uses legacy SSL settings" list.
