17 seems a little risky in the sense that it might get officially 
allocated in the next couple of years, even if you don't care about 
colliding with other experiments.

Knot Resolver does not have any special-casing here, I believe. Anything 
above 16 should always be unsupported algorithm, so downgraded to 
insecure (if no other supported combination is in the DS set).
