Here we go again. Listen up, guys. There are vast numbers of legacy sites without the technical or financial means to convert to https:, nor are many serving material that fundamentally needs to be encrypted. While I've long been a proponent of opportunistic crypto -- particularly by leveraging self-signed certs which I know you all despise with a vengeance -- moves to turn http: sites generally into pariahs is a display of technological arrogance par excellence, *unless* you intend to also provide funding and personnel to handle the conversions for legacy sites that do not have the financial or time resources to make the necessary initial and ongoing changes for themselves. There is crypto-reality and crypto-religion. And what I mostly see here is the latter, with concern for the little guys brushed under the carpet as usual. For shame.
