Just wanted to note this too... I am one of the affected ones... |
| 16 |
I think that it is very important to have http, and even https for |
| 17 |
formal resources. |

git://, svn://, rsync:// or ssh+X:// are inaccessible for a large |
| 19 |
group of users. |

|
| 21 |
Also using none secured protocols, exposes users to man-in-the-middle attacks. |
