I'm against automatic redirection as well. If someone prefer https then
he can use it just now. If someone can't use https or doesn't prefer it,
then he can use https. I see nothing positive to force https regardless
the users preference.

According binary distribution - I would like prefer a validation
mechanism independent from particular transport protocol. E.g. a
signature. In such case even FTP can be used.

Just my $0.02
