remember seeing headline after headline, blogpost after blogpost,
begging authors to switch to https -- and even now, it's a patchwork.

I don't want to say that Mercury is a bad idea because I'm not reallyqualified to make that judgment. However, I *will* say that I won'tsupport protocols that don't require encrypted connections, whetherover TLS, SSH, or something that replaces these 20 years from now.
I don't want to serve my own stuff in the clear, and if I'mproviding hosting to other people I don't want to serve their stuffin the clear either. It's just not safe.
