We can, of course, ask users in the affected countries. Given that this may lead to degradation or loss of access, users are likely to be opposed, and indeed, when plans to expand HTTPS usage were announced, a group of Chinese Wikipedians published an open letter asking for exemptions to be implemented:
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E5%BC%BA%E5%88%B6%E5%8A%A0%E5%AF%86...
This was a big part of what drove the decision to implement exemptions.
This attitude seems to be, on a first look, the most logical and respectful one.
But, I want to be remember, that the risk perception is often not proportional *at all* to the risk itself. In daily life, many risks are suppressed because the imagination of a constant threat would paralyse all activities. So, this feedback from the Chinese community should be handled carefully.
I tend myself to think that deploying HTTPS everywhere and force its usage is the best long term approach.
However, this is without any doubt, a difficult dilemma.
