Predefined suites.
They are easier to program, easier to optomize, and easier to analyze.
The combinatorics do *NOT* concern me, because the effort of
the combinatorics of the testing exceeds any "hassle" in writing a couple
more RFCs.
Predefined suites are better for pretty much every scenarios.
We NEED a MUST suite for end-to-end security to work. We need a backup
suite to transition to should the initial suite turn out to be broken.
