Yuri, You get to express your opinion, you do not also get to express mine. The core problem of all encryption is key distribution. HTTPS doesn't have that, it relies entirely on the CA system for it. The CA conglomerate is broken, trojaned and backdoored, and documented as such, and therefore HTTPs is a potempkin shell of security. Until HTTPS has something more trustworthy than the CA conglomerate to distribute keys, it is no safer in any respect than plain HTTP. And you are wasting everybodys time by trying to change FreeBSD's *100% non-private* version control system to a protocol which offers no privacy where no privacy is needed. You should spend *your* time getting personally involved in your own countrys political system, which is where the relevant decisions, bad or good, about our electronic privacy will be made.
