Because up until I posted, this was the official party line as far as I had been made aware: https://redis.io/topics/encryption https://redis.io/topics/encryption And this was the start to several other changes I am in the process of adding, which Salvatore had historically not been interested in. The patches I'd been working on for SSL/TLS were small enough to be easily cherry-picked, at any point in the future, if Salvatore had wanted them. It was easier to release some SSL/TLS bits to start, than to do everything else I need to do before adding SSL/TLS.
