The only thing I can accept as a valid complaint against https by
default is the increased minimum space requirements, everything else
I really don't understand nor agree with.
It's exactly this I am referring to when I talk about the extras not
the steps the user will take to enable it. So why I mentioned to leave
it as optional and easy to do for those who wish (and have space) to have
it.
Devices with low flash space (and RAM) are already receiving special
treatment (different compile options, different default packages) to lower
space footprint.
These devices can (should?) be left out of the "https by default" easily.
No, this is not an option. We certainly won't have (read "maintain") _two_
defaults for a matter like this.
I'm not sure you can actually not "maintaining two defaults" regardless
of what is decided.
From what I understand, https support is an addon to the base http web
interface infrastructure and not a fully different thing.
So I think that if you switch to https by default you still need to
maintain the "non-https" part of the web interface infrastructure anyway.
Apart from that, this discussion was not intended to discuss the various options _again_,
but to ask whether we should have "https by default" as a _blocker_ for the
next release.
Personally, since the discussion seems to be as open and unresolved as a few
months ago, I'm against making this a blocker.
Yeah I wouldn't treat it as a blocker, it's getting late for a release
already and nobody in the main developer list seems to care about
setting a default either way.
