bad idea ... choosing a default is a per-package issue. say we take this path and we declare that if a package supports both tls and ssl, you must utilize tls over ssl regardless. then you come to a package has really shitty tls support but it has wonderful ssl support. you're saying that defaulting to tls is a better idea than ssl ? a global decision like this just wont cut it. -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
