In the "Allow tests to pass in OpenSSL FIPS mode" thread [0] it was discovered
that 3DES is joining the ranks of NIST disallowed algorithms. The attached
patch adds a small note to the pgcrypto documentation about deprecated uses of
algorithms. I've kept it to "official" notices such as RFC's and NIST SP's.
There might be more that deserve a notice, but this seemed like a good start.

Any thoughts on whether this would be helpful?
