Declaring a technology-in-transition dead is truly a take.

It's like declaring SSL/TLS dead in 2012 because some websites were not using it. (Yes, I remember the dark times when even authentication data was transmitted over plain text.)

My first job out of college passed the authentication over SSL/TLS, but the page that *contained* the login form? That was sent in the clear.... Truly dark days.
