It's a versioned protocol.
If you use version 1 of the protocol (which is still being specified), you get a hard-coded suite of cryptographic primitives. There is no flexibility in this list.
If we want to offer an upgrade, we'll specify a new version that has a different suite of cryptographic primitives, with a distinct version identifier.
The concrete primitives are just the ones I'm selecting for v1.
