I would like it a lot if www.openbsd.org and cvsweb.openbsd.org
switched to https, but I'm not in a position to make it happen.

Much of the discussion seems silly: We don't do it because it doesn't
provide perfect security? That's exactly the opposite approach to
Theo's idea about security in OpenBSD. And encrypting everything
makes mass surveillance harder.

The true elephant in the room is that I can't get the current OpenBSD
source tree securely.  (Well, _I_ can if push comes to shove, but
the general user community can't.)  CVSync?  No integrity or
authenticity.  AnonCVS over SSH?  Nope, no integrity or authenticity
because the mirror itself got the tree over CVSync.  Assuming you
trust the mirror in the first place.
