I applaud you for your principled stance. And of course this change in Chrome changes nothing wrt your ability to continue doing this.

Equally your preference for HTTP should not stand in the way of a more secure default for the average person.

Honestly I'd prefer that my mom didn't browse any http sites, it's just safer that way. But that doesn't detract from your ability to serve unencrypted pages which can easily be intercepted or modified by an ISP (or worse.)
