Good question.
There are two steps to this:
1) Move all logins to TLS
2) Move all logged in users to TLS
3) Serve all traffic via HTTPS
4) With PFS and long HSTS timeouts
The former was dependent on a bug with E:CentralAuth that was causing
$wgSecureLogin to malfunction. I am not sure whether this bug was ever
fixed (I remember seeing Chris submit a patch for it, but I think it was
abandoned).
The bug has been fixes as part of the new SUL code. Yay!
Also, the discussion on
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52283 is
probably a blocker for enabled $wgSecureLogin (which would be a
pre-requisite for either of the two above steps).
As a few people noticed, we actually threw the switch on wgSecureLogin
yesterday, at which point the UX people felt that experience wasn't
ready, and it was reverted. This bug was one of the issues identified,
where they felt the UX would actually harm the editor experience.
We also have some scaling concerns, so ops is also working on making
sure we have enough capacity on hand to handle major spikes after we
enable this. Hopefully we'll tie up all the loose ends in the near
future, and can try getting to step #1 again.

I think that's the first time I've seen him say "fuck" in a public
communication ...
Anyway, I expect people will ask us how the move to all-SSL is
progressing. So, how is it going?
(I've been telling people it's slowly moving along, we totally want
this, it's just technical resources. But more details would be most
useful!)
