Yes absolutely, the majority of your users will likely be using SyncTERM anyway, which uses the latest in cryptlib technologies, and anyone running Netrunner (which uses the older cryptlib) will still be able to connect, they just won't be connecting with the latest ciphers.

My patch doesn't remove older ciphers, just enabled newer ones.

Go for it, there shouldn't be any issues for anyone. There's also a roll back if using my installer anyway should your paranoia get the better of you :P
