I was thinking it was just wanting to ramp up load internally first (where it's really easy and fast to ramp back down if needed) and then expand to other places when we're more confident. Turning on HTTPS by default for all logged in users is one of those ways to ramp up load in a controlled and easily reversible way. -Jeremy _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
