I'm sorry.

Our options, as admins, have been to (a) maintain insecure connections 
with everyone because Google doesn't support secure connections, or (b) 
support secure connections with everyone else and not connect to Google. 
For a long time we have done (a), but we have become increasingly 
uncomfortable with allowing your messages to go "in the clear" for 
anyone to eavesdrop. As a community, the operators of XMPP services have 
finally decided to choose security. I continue to hope that Google and 
other large service providers will see the light and support a higher 
level of security for their users.
