What is easier to ignore, IETF/IANA, or a complaining user base who
suddenly find their email (their internet) is broken? I assume 465 at
some point was "offically" for encrypted smtp, then it changed. But I am
sure anyone knows how hard it is to get rid of ingrown habits.
As a side note, I see port 0 recently got assigned, which feels a bit
unfair, it should be reserved (for the sake of it :-)
