Yes - back when we did this the very first time around we needed to work
around a lot of the intellectual property and licensing considerations
surrounding SSL and RRP.
The dynamic is a lot different now - for instance, we need to move
forward in a way that doesn't break the thousands of installations that
are currently out there. We're also a lot more careful with what goes in
and why.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that while a lot of the conditions
that shaped the early versions of the protocol have since become
irrelevant, the impact is still felt - definitely something to consider
when evaluating the current state of the application and protocol.
