 Description   

Imagine you want to roll-out MaxScale in an old infrastructure, where it is not feasible to reconfigure client applications for this or that port.
Now you're in a pickle... either risk breaking a lot of client applications or sacrificing transport security.

If I recall correctly, the lack of both SSL and non-SSL support on a single port was a conscious decision done to avoid accidental use of non-SSL connections when SSL was wanted. In my mind this is still a better choice as it more secure and, as you said, one can easily have two listeners to the same service: one with TLS enabled and the other without it.
