 It looks like rpc.pingomatic.com still doesn't support https. I would like
 to see it support HTTPS, and then have WordPress default to using https
 for it.

Comment (by sabernhardt):

 Thanks for the report and sorry for the long delay!

 The rpc.pingomatic.com subdomain still does not seem to support HTTPS, but
 I made a patch to update the schema for new sites if the subdomain gets
 SSL.

 All unit tests passed with only the schema.php change. I also wanted to
 update the unit test to check both HTTP and HTTPS, and (only) the
 7.0-multisite test failed. The failure notice mentions a timeout. (I had
 planned to try a pull request on my fork first. :facepalm:)

 When this is completed, the [https://wordpress.org/support/article/update-
 services/ Update Services support article] will need updating (both the
 screenshot and the list).
