SSL Downgrade attack prevention

Hi, As we know SSLv3 Poodle Vulnerability is in news now. And F5 has officially announced its mitigation by not using SSLv3. Just as thought can we mitigate it by stopping SSL downgrade. That is TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV should not be supported. ?

    On the F5 currently, you can only disable SSLv3 (and any older protocols if you wish to explicitly do so). TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV is not yet supported.
