Let me reply to this piece only then: many people have big opinions
about security, but most people aren't qualified at all to make
decisions involving it, because they lack the facts, or lack expertise.

Security should be tight by default, and it should be super easy to set
up something in a secure way.  Git fails in that first thing currently,
but GitHub's recent move fails in the latter for a non-trivial fraction
of users.  But they obviously feel they have to do something, and I
applaud them for that.

All of this is off-topic for this list, so let's leave it at that.
