Mostly because then saying integrity protection with SHA-1 is not well
defined anymore. Currently it is assumed it always means
AUTH_HMAC_SHA1_96, but if implementations start supporting
AUTH_HMAC_SHA1_160 too, then the GUI etc needs to be modified to be
explicit about the truncation length, and that just causes confusion
and interoperability problems. Especially as I do not know any
implementation out there that supports AUTH_HMAC_SHA1_160 for IP
use...
