So after reviewing this thread and discussing with a few folks, I’d
like to propose, for 10.1:
#1b - Same as the previous #1, we don’t enable TLS for management by
default for now, but we additionally include an extra cli script to
enable TLS.
We would leave the cert generation bit in the security realm, but just
don't enable the HTTPS interface. That way all that is required is for
the user to add the https="managements-https" attribute.

For 11 I think we should move to TLS by default, perhaps with a
configurable URL policy on redirects, and address the incongruence
with upgrade over app.
I think its likely reasonable to redirect by default for 11, but we
can hash that out further. One nice thing I had forgotten about is
that the JDK will prompt for you to add unknown certs, and this all
works with the CLI[1]. So it’s really only non-interactive clients
we have to worry about, and that sounds like a reasonable burden for
upgrade.
