NNTPS support?

Does/will NewsPro support NNTPS (snews)?
you can use stunnel to achieve that.
snews (SSL) has some overhead (in every SSL packet there is hash checksum - at least 16 bytes plus more data, also handshake - estabilishing connections may be relatively slow and create a load on the server processor), maybe it is the reason as a rule SSL is not supported by news providers.
in principle it is simple to add, newsfeeds is currently using SSH.
