Why? Old ciphers are well known as totally insecure (generally
speaking, even some "new" are insecure as well), so the POODLE
description does nothing but shows one more attack vector.

The protection against the POODLE is quite simple:

1. For servers: disable weak encryption (in assumption they are
updated on a regular basis).

2. For users: update old software. Alas, fully disabling weak
encryption (e.g. set security.tls.version.min == 3 in Firefox)
isn't what we can demand, but that leaves the user personally
responsible for any and all data leaks.
