Re:Tim Berners-Lee: https everywhere considered harmful by sbierwagen on Tuesday February 09, 2016 @03:35PM (#11068538)
No, he only gets to the point in one of the final paragraphs:

  The problem is of course that moving things from http: space into 
  https space, whether or not you keep the rest of the URI the same, 
  breaks any links to. Put simply, the HTTPS Everywhere campaign 
  taken at face value completely breaks the web. 
Of course, in reality, anyone who moves to HSTS also adds a rewrite rule that redirects incoming http vistors to the https URI. In fact, Let's Encrypt even does it automatically: https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt/blob/master/letse...

His complaint is completely spurious.
