It should not be in alpha 2 certainly, and it's easiest to delay committing it 
until after that. However if we're going to ship 0.7 with SSL support, it 
makes sense to commit it after 0.7-a2 has shipped satisfactorily?

This may make some sense. I'll ask ET what he thinks. IMHO Freenet is not the 
same as many of these projects as they are written in C, have extensive 
install scripts, and are targeted at sysamins, however it may still make 
sense for it to be a plugin.
