Why the insecure services??



http://db.debian.org/ allows login via the web both securely and insecurely.
Why even give the option of an insecure login that will give away the password
in cleartext?

Every developer _should_ have crypto web capabilities... after all, every
developer _does_ have a GPG key, and we often use ssh to login to machines.
Thus, having crypto for web browsers should not be a problem.  So, which
developers would need the insecure login?

I say this because I have once logged in (on accident) using normal login at
http://db.debian.org/, and immediately changed my password afterwards (I'm
paranoid).

On a same, but less severe note: why allow anonymous FTP uploads?
