I don't think they're mutually exclusive. We need to do both.

For any users that notice the protocol, it may be disorienting, but I would
guess most of our users don't really pay attention to it (hopefully I'm wrong
about that!). But the win is that if they click the login link again, they'll
be back using https before they enter their password again. That would be a
step towards helping our users be more secure, even if we have plenty of other
bugs to close too.
