I agree with you. We don't want TLS to hide the fact that we are
accessing the openbsd site. We want TLS to get a little extra confidence
that what we are seeing on our screen is what the OpenBSD devs wanted us
to see. Someone mentioned signify keys also. Nowadays if I want to be
(kind of) sure I got everything right, I need to download the files from
different mirrors, using different internet connections, using vpn's and
tor, etc.

The TLS could be implemented on a non mandatory way, you don't need to
redirect HTTP connections to HTTPS ones. But it would be nice to have
the option, at least.
