>You can never imagine how many people are still using WinXP

XP still has 0.38% of market share (specifically Windows non-mobile platforms) according to [1], not sure about absolute numbers.

>If you remove 3DES, the TLS connection will simply fail.

Strong backwards compatibility is great, but continuing to run XP 10+ years after EOL is a personal choice and its remaining users should not expect the world to continue to accomodate them forever. I don't think it's unreasonable to deny them service in this case.
