I think the general idea is reasonable, but I have two small comments:

* Should this be a "Warning" and/or moved to the top of the page? This
seems like a relatively important notice that folks should see when
beginning to use pgcrypto.

* Should we actually document the exact list of algorithms along with
detailed reasons? This list seems prone to becoming outdated.
