I think that the default http page exists for a valid reason. Not every OS/ GNU Distribution ships with the CAcert package (Arch deprecated support few months back and I don't know about others). Also FSDG distributions like Trisquel doesn't ship that package either. So if we change the default page to https://www.parabola.nu, then the visitor will bump across a scary "This Connection is Untrusted" error and will have no explanation as to the reason behind that error and how to bypass the error, making s/he believe that the site is untrustworthy. The current default page provides an explanation and possible work around to bypass that error. -1 to the change. -- Icarious GPG Public Key : 0x4428BA28AA2ACCD2 GPG Fingerprint : 6C37 E88E DD0B F042 7A15 676E 4428 BA28 AA2A CCD2 www.gnuos.in
