its the 21st century:
f you dont use end2end crypto, then you  gotta expect people to optimize
their resources to give you the best service money can buy for the least
they have to spend.
...

That's an interesting idea.  People might eventually finally start
using end2end crpyto not for privacy or authnetication where they
really care about either, but for performance and correctness, to
defend against the ISP's who find it cheaper to give you the front
page of last week's newspaper instead of today's.

or ISPs might start penalizing encrypted packets.

I just don't buy the argument that we can solve these problems by
adding more complexity.  That's like saying that a country can 
get more security by building more planes, tanks, bombs, etc.
It might work, but then again, it might fuel an arms race.
