This should indeed work for now, but adopting endpoints is a more 
forward-looking approach; "connectSSL" is a much less flexible API, and will 
hopefully someday be removed.

For example:

You can't use connectSSL in combination with UNIX sockets
When we (one day) have a client version of the PROXY endpoint, you won't be 
able to use that with connectSSL
You can't do TLS-in-TLS tunneling with connectSSL for backhaul connections

It's just generally harder to switch to other secure transports if you're not 
using the endpoint APIs.

Thanks for using Twisted,
