Some projects are being left out of the initial rollout. Users that use
those projects as their home wiki will still log-in to HTTP by default and
will get a central auth cookie that will work for other projects as well.

Users who are logged in over HTTPS and feel that it is too slow for their
area or device can disable HTTPS redirection in their preferences to
continue using the site in HTTP mode.
