That's a very different concern than the one asked by BITS security,
and is IMO a very valid one. Running any protocol under TLS wouldn't
mean that debugging is very hard or impossible for the one running the
protocol. Administrators debug and trace protocols every day to figure
out failures (that's why we have advanced tools like wireshark). Making
it hard for them to use these tools isn't increasing security; it is
only making their life harder.
