This position was a bit surprising to me to come from you, but
perhaps I am mixing up my recollection of your past work on this
project with somebody else's?  I somehow expected to hear something
more like "if a less secure thing is cumbersome to implement, let it
be, as that is better for the world".  But I am OK to add less secure
thing as long as it is an opt-in "easy way out".

Everything else I read in the cover letter made sense to me.  I just
wanted to say that the above part was a bit surprising.

Thanks.
