Yes, the goal is to provide a ciphersuite that can be copied directly. But instead of stopping after the first paragraph, we explain why we think this ciphersuite is best. The guideline is not just a ciphersuite, it's a study of the state-of-the-art of SSL/TLS. At the end of the day, it's not realistic to imagine that everyone will spend days researching this to come up with a proper ciphersuite. There is a strong need for guidance. You are correct about SSLv3: it is up to each organization to stop supporting it. But do know that it is still widely used, if not in browser, in client libraries. I wouldn't turn it off on a corporation site if I were you.
