I propose that the proponents pay the cost. In this case, it is a bit
unclear what that means precisely (which likely is the reason they
haven't done it already). At the very least though, apt install
auto-apt-proxy should continue to work on a default installation in a
sensible way.

I don't think https resolves any concerns. It's merely best-practice. In
the absence of reason not to use https, https should be preferred. As it
happens, we figured a reason not to use https.

Untrue. You get to choose which changes you want to pay the cost for.
For instance, I want Debian to be cross buildable and bootstrappable.
Holger, Mattia and a few others want Debian to be reproducible. You
don't get to pay the cost for those changes. Change is possible in a way
that limits cost for uninterested people. The contentious changes are
the ones where the initiators fail to pay the cost.

That is very true. With merged-/usr, I suppose most grief arises from
the way the transition was (not) planned and only a minority takes issue
with the goal.
