Posed for sake of argument, assuming this interpretation is correct: This is unacceptable and a blocking bug to this rollout. The suggested "just find an excepted project and log in there first" is neither easy nor self-evident enough to be effective for those users. The silent failure mode they will encounter will effectively be a silent site outage for them. The change must be delayed until people geographically / nationally denied HTTPS can log in again.
