Indeed, the issue is with add-on authors who do not want to host on AMO 
(for a variety of quite valid reasons). A compromise allowing authors to 
host their xpis on their own sites but the update.rdf on AMO or some 
other Mozilla provided secure site might be a potential solution, but I 
think even this is not ideal from both author's and Mozilla's point of view.
