The graying-out in this case was an enhancement to avoid giving false
hope to admins.

A limitation on the server side is that a replication agreement's target
host, port and connection type can't be modified while the server is
running - DSA unwilling to perform.  It has to be recreated or possibly
edited in offline mode.  Maybe this could use some enhancement (followed
by Console unenhancement), but I'd rank replication StartTLS support
higher on the nice-to-have list.
