Wait a second. s2s does not use TLS in most cases? I understand that TLS
and certificate checking may be difficult for a client, but for a
server? So if I use TLS and my friend uses TLS we may still may have a
weak link between the two servers? I thought s2s TLS is standard
today. Do you have any statistics about how many servers xmpp.org talks
to have TLS?
