Re: Pluggable HTTPS Backends

Only allowing TLS to benefit from secure contexts (service workers, 
HTTP/2, etc) when it's known to be insecure (see also: recent MITM of a 
russian jabber server - something that would just not be possible with 
tor or i2p) is by far one of the most dangerous stances someone can take 
on the matter.
