наб b6eb95fa44 Reference the non-"legacy" provider names directly from EVP_md5(3) &c.
Earlier today, it took me five manuals! to find what on earth the
"Performance"/"EVP_MD_fetch(3)" crosslinks actually mean:
  EVP_sha1(3)
  crypto(7)
  EVP_MD_fetch(3) (but not there! don't read that!)
  OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)
  EVP_MD-SHA1(7)

If, instead, EVP_sha1(3) referenced EVP_MD-SHA1(7) at /all/,
which it should do, since it's supposed to be what you're replacing it
with, but it doesn't actually say that, maybe people would use it.
I know I didn't because it's basically just deadass buried

As found by git grep -l 'and should consider using'

- EVP RC2 cipher
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_cbc(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_cfb(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_cfb64(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_ecb(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_ofb(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_40_cbc(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc2_64_cbc(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The RC2 encryption algorithm for EVP.
=over 4
=item EVP_rc2_cbc(),
EVP_rc2_cfb(),
EVP_rc2_cfb64(),
EVP_rc2_ecb(),
EVP_rc2_ofb()
RC2 encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively. This is a
variable key length cipher with an additional parameter called "effective key
bits" or "effective key length". By default both are set to 128 bits.
=item EVP_rc2_40_cbc(),
EVP_rc2_64_cbc()
RC2 algorithm in CBC mode with a default key length and effective key length of
40 and 64 bits.
WARNING: these functions are obsolete. Their usage should be replaced with the
EVP_rc2_cbc(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl()
functions to set the key length and effective key length.

=head1 NOTES
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_CIPHER-RC2(7)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<evp(7)>,
