OTOH, the new policy could have said something like:
Examples of exceptions to this new rule are (but are not limited to):
A) websites using SSL (https://)
B) virtual host anonymous FTP sites
C) ... etc.
Instead, we're all left guessing. Nobody has a clue what might constitute
a valid exception. We waste lots of time whining and arguing about the
new policy and create a huge message thread. The thread begins to wander
and spawns sub-threads arguing about the validity of various protocols,
file naming conventions, etc.
