It's just Ilya's opinion.  You are free to agree or not.

There are at least two reasons to not use HTTPS:

 1. Provide easy access to information for people, who can't use encryption
    by political, legal, or technical reasons.

 2. Don't waste resources on encryption, and thus save our planet.

Please, don't be a TLS despot and let people to have a choice to use encryption
or not.

I think the situation when I can't download new version of OpenSSL using old
version of OpenSSL is ridiculous, but they have configured openssl.org that way.
How I supposed to use Internet then?
