There still doesn't appear to be a way, as a user, to specify that you want to
receive communications that specify a particular protocol (cf. comment 0,
comment 11, and bug 29878 comment 8).

Your patch addresses the cookie portion and the user option _at login_, but the
general user preference is not implemented (or alternately, a particular
protocol is not mandated), as far as I can tell. This may or may not be the
subject of a separate bug, though.

Generally, I'm not sure the approach of using a "Stay connected to HTTPS after
login" is a good idea. It doesn't serve a second use-case well (e-mail and
other communications) and it seems like weird clutter on the login form UI. If
any preference is to be implemented at all (and I'm not sure that mandating for
logged-in users and user communications is really that bad), I think it should
be done in the same place as every other user preference. This also gives it
the benefit of having an easy-to-set default value.
