Because I saw support from people like Alessandro Vesely for my proposal. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-smtp/pSb216OGLuTe31yUzAXtqD2haAo
Then it hit me. Maybe more people like him interested in SMTPS too. So I have done some research and posted this comment. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-smtp/apZ8nBnGpv1aXlFUtbcTjGipA8Q When I open this thread, I just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page. I think I even mentioned what IETF thinks when I created this thread. And asked "I would love to know where you stand on this proposal." So I opened this thread, just to collect some feedback.
