However, RC2-40 is used in gnutls to decrypt PKCS #12 files, so it would be good for RC2-40 to remain so that decryption of any existing files will remain possible.
Yes, forgot to write about P12 where RC2 can be used. Don't know how common it is though.
Last time I looked closely (~3-4 years ago) RC2-40 was quite common when non-FOSS code were involved (e.g., Windows). I'm hoping implementations have been changed since then, but files generated back then must still be quite common, and thus useful to decrypt.
