I am still not convinced the STARTTLS is ultimate evil. SMTP had way
too many bugs in its implementation over its history, still no one
considers it evil. And that's just yet another of those bugs. And
considering network transparency becomes bigger rarity nowadays - port
multiplication is a must. And we are yet to see how many of similar
bugs will be in alpn/sni implementations.
