Totally agreed on https. I just uploaded that fix to zesty, defaulting to https://motd.ubuntu.com (which exists now, it didn't at the time), and enforcing that all URLs should start with https://.

The .timer systemd unit + caching + periodic refresh is interesting, indeed. I'll look into a rewrite of update-motd to do it this way. What minimum version of systemd would I need for it to work this way?
