The primary user of NTLMv1 is MSCHAPv2 for VPNs and 802.1x.  This needs
to be called out in the docs.  Ideally we would have a tri-state here
to support this only when the MSV1_0_ALLOW_MSVCHAPV2 flag is specified
by a client. 

(I hate this flag on principle, because it perpetuates the use of
NTLMv1 rather than forcing MS to rev to a sane, secure VPN and 802.1x
protocol).

Otherwise, I'm fine with this.
