(META: I have to wonder why Wikimedia-l was chosen as the venue for this conversation. Visual Editor is deployed and working in quite a few of our projects, including very active ones and "difficult" ones such as the right-to-left Hebrew Wikipedia; this discussion, then, is very much about the English Wikipedia and VE, and would be appropriate in a venue more specific to ENWP -- whether list or wiki.)

I think having a two part RfC with the first part discussing the minimum conditions the community would like VE to meet before having a discussion about more widely enabling VE in the second portion of the RfC makes sense. This raises the possibility that as VE becomes more and more functional that the community will incrementally approve of wider default use over time and different presentations of VE to editors.

There are a lot of options for how extensively VE could be enabled and how it can be presented to users with the community's consent, which we can discuss in the second portion of the RfC. I have a draft for that portion off-wiki that I will tweak depending on how the first portion looks before I put it on-wiki for other editors to review.

Risker, would you like to set up the first portion of this, if this arrangement sounds good to you?
