> Rationale:
> Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM

> 
> Deterministic algorithm:
> For each file:
>   If not .svg:
>     For each line:
>       If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
>         For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
> 	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
>             If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
>             return 200 OK and serve the same content:
>               Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
