I bet there are many FLOSS advocates who don't read that page as being the result of a cost-benefit analysis. They read it as an inspiring story of the rebels winning one against the https Empire. Because I never see the caveat wrt apt that, "of course, we are a super edgy edge-case that should not be used as a model to rationalize a knee-jerk refusal to use SSL for common cases." I say this because I've corresponded with such advocates about a completely common case for SSL-- setting up a LetsEncrypt certicate, say. The response I often get doesn't make any sense unless I assume they read a page like this and remembered the feels while forgetting all the relevant details that separate apt from their common case.
