[issue22987] ssl module documentation: incorrect compatibility matrix

New submission from Kali Kaneko:
The SSLv23 row that can be read in the socket creation section in the documentation for the ssl module looks incorrect:
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/ssl.html#socket-creation
by my tests (with python 2.7.8) that row should read:
yes no yes yes yes yes
instead of:
yes no yes no no no
as it does now.
Since a client specifying SSLv23 should be (and it seems to be) able to negotiate the highest available version that the server can offer, no matter if the server has chosen a tls version.
Is this an error in the documentation, or is there any situation in which the current values hold true?
