can you try #14219 and flip the fetch/getbynid order as shown in 6507522 and see what happens to the tests?

Note that this will cause some failures, because the main naming standard we came up with for a number of ciphers differs from the "main name" we used in legacy. The new "main names" have a more consistent pattern, so I would suggest that the tests should be adapted accordingly rather then flipping back the algorithm naming scheme.

This is an exercise for another PR, I'd say.

Ping for review(s)?

Might I suggest this addition?

Other than that addition, this looks fine

Fixup adding the suggested paragraph pushed. @levitte PTAL

24 hours has passed since 'approval: done' was set, but this PR has failing CI tests. Once the tests pass it will get moved to 'approval: ready to merge' automatically, alternatively please review and set the label manually.

One of the CI jobs had failed to even start, so I decided to re-run them all. Looks much better now.

Merged to master. Thank you for the review.
