Fighting against HTTP-only firewalls is like constantly pointing it out

It is pointless and only hurts the availability our own project.
	

Yes, and Shawn Pierce is working on making HTTP a proper "smart" access 
method, based on a proposal I submitted.  That is the proper solution, 
since it avoids all the braindamage of "dumb" access methods.  We 
[kernel.org] intend to deploy it as soon as it is available.
