Encryption protects users from certain kinds of Internet surveillance,
as well as snooping of sensitive user data.  Therefore, I think that
it's better to be proactive about preferring HTTPS when possible.

But nearly all links in Emacs have already been changed, so we can
probably agree to disagree about this.

Yes, of course.  That's why I left many URIs alone, as testing them
showed that they are HTTP only.
