Perhaps something like content based addressing, or using something like certificate transparency to protect site contents.

The problem with https everywhere is - for all its good aspects - it adds a layer of fragility to the web. It seems like we're leaving the day where a website can simply be, untouched, for decades. Now if you don't update your TLS certificates every few months, the thing goes poof.

It would be nice if there was a good way to publish content to the web without having to tend it constantly.

The only way you could do that is on a hosted platform where they do maintenance for you. There's no way a server would last online for decades without being patched, it would have been hosed countless times over by now.

Installing certs is just as regular as installing patches, do it every 6 months if you like, but certainly not every 10+ years!!
