Stephen, Independent of the substance of the statement itself -- for the reasons Tony Hain and others have given and because, as you point out, things have been available over HTTPS for years and this is just a change in defaults, this still feels to me more like theater than like something substantive. Maybe that is ok -- theater is sometimes useful. However, if, in your view and that of the IESG this is a "fairly modest nail", then I have to question whether the IESG might have better ways to allocate and prioritize its time and that of the community. Put differently, this is either significant enough (substantively or as theater) to justify whatever time the IESG has spent on it and will spend in the future, plus the time the community is spending reading, commenting, and reacting to comments, or it is not. If it is not, then the IESG has made a bad decision about the use of its time and the time of the community regardless of whether, in a perfect world, HTTPS would be the default. So how modest and minor do you really think it is? best, john
