just in case what Bartos wrote is not 100% clear:

The extension already implement a user-selectable enable/disable switch -
nothing should be done there. 
LocalSettings.php for enwiki specifically removes the choice, by setting the
line

"$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';"

this bug is basically a request to delete this line from enwiki's
LocalSettings.php, and thus allowing users to opt-out of VE.

a derivative request would be such: once VE is enabled by default on other
wikis, please do not to add such a line to their LocalSettings.php.
the second part is a "forward looking" request, i.e. it's a request not to do
something in the future, without actually knowing if there's any intention to
do it...

(as a side, it seems that the decision to remove user's switch was not a good
one: the main result of this decision was that on enwiki, someone had to write
a special gadget for disabling VE, instead of just using the built-in
switch...)

peace.
