I can understand multiple viewpoints on showing/hiding stuff for browsers incapable of running the full ResourceLoader/jQuery code, so I'll need to defer to Carolynne on this one for the general Global South impact. I just added the internet-facing zero-rating email address to this thread (anyone can email) to ensure she sees it in case mobile-l is being filtered.

I'm going to copy-and-paste some stats around <noscript> and RL data on a separate mobile-l thread. It may help in impact analysis.

Max made the suggestion that we should hide login/account creation
until we have a better experience there.

Are we happy to do this as an interim solution?
