Hi,

nobody is required to support or provide technologies just because you like
them.
In the beginning of the "any website needs to be encrypted" campaign I 
didn't get the point behind. Finally I understood, that in some 
countries encrypted data transfers are observed by the government/regime 
and anybody doing so is suspicious. So the only valid point here is to 
produce as much (useless) encrypted data traffic as possible to give 
these people a chance to hide in between.
Actually we should have reached this because a lot of sites already 
offer encrypted versions and most browsers try to establish an encrypted 
connection if possible.
Within the EU we have additionally the GDPR, that protects private data 
(e.g. cookies, lol). So you may not use cookies if the connection is not 
encrypted.
For the postfix website I don't see any necessity to switch to an 
encrypted version. We don't have the cookie-problem here and there is 
already enough encrypted traffic out there (to be realistic, the postfix 
web site is producing very little traffic on global scale I assume).
So it would be nice to have for solidarity but if there are arguments 
against (like the actual setup with the provider) it's still ok and 
working and safe.
