* Will logged in users automatically be redirected from HTTP to HTTPS once
this change is live?

* Will links in e-mail notifications switch from HTTP to HTTPS?

Most importantly, a change like this will inevitably result in a small
percentage of users no longer being able to access the site.

** How are editors expected to be able to report issues if they're no
longer able to access the site? Will they simply have to edit a village
pump anonymously and hope that someone notices?

** Will there be any opt-out mechanism for logged in users?

*** Is the editing community willing to lose a small percentage of editors
who will no longer be able to contribute to the site?
