I can't believe HTTPS hasn't been switched on in the 2.5 years since
this bug was reported. It's a commonsense move that even Linus has made.
There are truly no arguments against it. It's farcical to report kernel
signatures, but then not provide either the package or the signature
over a secure transport. What's the point in signing it at all?
Kernel.org is distributing the releases over an HTTPS CDN with no
problems, and Ubuntu is way behind the times on this.
