[JL] But our position on new protocols & deployers of IETF standards is that everything needs to be encrypted. So in light of this, why would we then except our own activities from this shift to pervasive encryption? As well, I do not understand the burden on the end user in terms of access with crypto - every browser supports it, every mobile device, etc. The decision to retire FTP seems like the easiest decision the IETF can make this year.
