Nobody is going to mock the IETF for making this change. If we are
going to be mocked, it will be for not making this change.
And if some government makes STARTTLS illegal, then it's on them to
figure out how this is going to work. Will they also make HTTPS
illegal? If they did that, it would be up to them to figure out how to
make it work, not up to us. It is not our job to help random despotic
governments snoop on their citizens. If they want to do that, that's
their choice, but we are 100% not obliged to help them.
After the Snowden revelations, you might not need to classify such
governments as despotic...
