A few holdouts on the specific phrase notwithstanding, I encourage
you to take a few minutes to read the draft (soon to be RFC 7435).

This puts opportunistic use of encryption in a more comprehensive
context of potential opportunistic use of MiTM-resistant protocols.

I am not religious on the term, Opportunistic Security was accepted
as a rough consensus compromise, it'll have to do.
