questions around cipher suites ranges #151

Hello.

I have several questions concerning the cipher suites ranges (I didn't find answers in the doc) :

a. why the iana range contains only 24 cipher suites since on the iana website they have more than 300 cipher suites.
b. why the "TLSv10" and "TLSv11" ranges have no cipher suites ?
c. to what meaning correspond the ranges "huge" and "safe" ?
d. could you explain the meaning of "some shifted by 64 bytes to the right" ("shifted" range) ?
e. the "rfc" range gives 2064 cipher suites which seems a lot since for example rustls has no more than 400 cipher suites taken from the various RFCs covering TLS, so where does the rfc range find its 2064 cipher suites?

Regards.
