https or rsync

[Valeri Galtsev]

Given the packages are signed I'm convinced there is no need in https: not
only encryption - which is itself unnecessary for something public but
also there is no need to confirm the identity of the other end of your
connection when you are getting packages. I too would like to hear strong
argument pro https.

Thanks.
