Yes, as long as the long-term approach to configure ciphers for 
different TLS versions will be clear.  Right now the only thing 
which is clear is that the SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuits() interface is 
a band-aid which leads to various surprising and inconsistent 
results.  See https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/1529 for 
details.
