I'd love to have detail stats on the actual proportion of servers
using self-signed vs CA-signd certs over time! There seems to be
more enthusiasm behind TOFU at the moment than at other times in the
relatively recent past.

I can gladly start tracking this with the next GUS crawl, but we'regetting beyond my expertise. I have a very lightly modified version[0] of Jason McBrayer's gusmobile [1] (in Python) that I think hasbeen, thankfully, the sole arbiter of all things TLS for GUS. Ifanyone is interested in altering that code, or helping me figure outhow to alter that code, to return info on self-signed vs CA-signeddistinctions, we could get statistics on this soon.
