Great news IMHO. It seems like many webmasters needed a push in the right direction, beyond "its the right thing to do".
Now if only we could address the CA trust/cost problem...
I get a free SSL cert, right?
This is my main sticking point; for a lot of simple blog-style sites (especially for nonprofits, etc.), not only acquiring a CA-signed certificate, but then maintaining that certificate, renewing it, installing it on a host... these things all need to be made much more easy/simple before HTTPS everywhere can become a reality.
