But did it?  I don't remember seeing it in any of the source trees
I was monkeying with.  Not that that means much.  But I also don't
remember ever seeing a non-gnu UUCP associated with any post-4.2

Yup.  It's just wrapping the connection with TLS, ala https vs http.
People have been doing it for decades (e.g. suucp in more tha a few
/etc/services files).  With HDB you can arrange this by doing some
contortions in the Dialers file that make it call out to 'openssl
s_client ...' IIRC.  It has been a looong time ...
