This is a very reasonable proposal, but could represent a problem for
some in an indirect way.  My personal blog is currently hosted in a
manner that makes using https not possible.[^0]  I don't know if others
are in a similar situation, but it is reasonable to think so.  Enabling
https is one thing, but in my case a full migration will be required. 
Is there a reason we need to require the blogs that are aggregated to be
https and not just encourage it and move the planet to https?

regards,

bex

^0: I use a free hosting platform that cannot do https for custom
domains.  However, everything else, static site generation, git, etc. is
exactly like I like it :)
