I wonder how much of these numbers - tablets on mobile site before the
switchover and on desktop site after it - are due to discrepancies in
tablet detection between analytics and varnish. Varnishes used to detect
them by matching user-agent
against (iPad|Android.3|(?i)tablet|PlayBook|Wii) - how does analytics do
that?

Good news, everyone!
Oliver ran some stats for us on where tablet users were landing (desktop
view or mobile view) a few days before and after the tablet redirect on
Tuesday:
Before the redirect, *13% of pageviews from tablets were hitting the
mobile site*, meaning a non-trivial chunk of users had opted into the
mobile experience even before we were serving it to them as the default.
After the redirect, *95% of pageviews from tablets were hitting the
mobile site*, meaning a fairly small number of users are opting out of
the mobile experience we're serving – smaller than the number of people who
were opting out of the desktop experience before the redirect :)
(Note that the total pageview numbers haven't changed significantly – the
slightly downward trendline in the past few days just reflects the normal
dip we observe toward the end of every week.)
So, tl;dr, it looks like we're serving the needs of the majority of our
users. Graph below, courtesy of our beloved British data analyst/road
warrior. We'll continue to monitor these numbers, of course, but the early
results look good – nice work, team!
