    "defunct Blowfish and Twofish AVX2 implementations have been dropped"

    WTF? Why? How can an AVX2 chiper be "defunct"?

      Well according to the blowfish wikipedia page, blowfish was broken in some cases and has been officially depreciated anyway. Twofish still hasn't been broken yet though. So that at least explains Blowfish being dropped.
      All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

            It's financially lost value?

            The term, fwiw, is deprecated, not depreciated.
