We don't mix user preference cache between logged-in users and logged-out
users, this is definitely not what's happening.


What's happening is that a while ago the 'visualeditor-enable' preference was
enabled by default on de.wikipedia.org. Though it was disabled for anonymous
users by other means, that preference was there and as such is cached inside
the anonymous user cache that visited pages while VE was enabled by default on
de.wikipedia.org.

The 'other' means to disable for anons have been removed now that the
preference is disabled again on de.wikipedia (it is now an opt-in for logged-in
users). However this other means is not cached inside the page but globally
from the startup module.

So people visiting the pages generated while VE was enabled by default are now
getting VE since there is no 'disableForAnons' flag in place.

Roan's putting this in place now.
