No its not, as I wrote in the part you quote, www.openoffice.org will
continue to have https: but also https: as pr request from the project.

But if I might remind you sent a mail to infra, asking why https: was not
implemented for www.openoffice.org, which I and pctony responded to.

And if you look at INFRA-6608, you will see a comment from andrea 3 August:
"And we will want to use it, even though there is no authentication there,
for
http(s)://www.openoffice.org
(this is mainly because we receive a steady, even if low, amount of
complaints from users who cannot browse our main site on HTTPS). "


We infra have done exactly as the project asked us to do according to
INFRA-6608, and that is not correct ??

I actually never understood why https: was wanted on www.openoffice.org,
but it was not a problem to do it, so it was done.

today is a  day where I am less proud of being AOO-PMC. We (AOO) have been
after infra to get a certificate and get it implemented. Yesterday mark
took a big chunk of time and with some help from me, got it implemented. I
think infra should have a "thank you", instead !


I have of course a double heart in this situation, but I am sure this is
not a good way, to work together.
