First off, a big thanks to infra and all involved in the migration. It
looks awesome!

As to the SSL bit, there is *no* reason not to be using SSL for anything
that requires a username / password. And I 100% agree with Tobias. If
it's necessary to use SSL to login, it's necessary to use it for the
duration of the session. I don't know how feasible it is to do, but if
normal viewing (no login) can be left SSL free, I see no issue there.
Otherwise however, SSL should be in use.
