Just wait and the current CURRENT code will eventualy be on the STABLE branch.

Last I looked there was no extension proposed for SSL support. Netscape and
Microsoft are both on the nntp wg but I've heard nothing from them about this
(keeping security support propietary is to their advantage anyway).

The SSL patch was good. 977 is still current because it defines the basics and
they are still appropriate. The question should really be why has no-one
proposed an extension for this issue. Maybe someone here can.
