This isn't an appropriate list for this, but MaxSem and hashar told me to post it here anyway, so here goes.
There's a patch[1] to remove 'visualeditor-enable' from $wgHiddenPrefs, essentially allowing for disabling VE on a per-user basis again. It has overwhelming community support, but the VisualEditor team is refusing to acknowledge it, and ops say it's "none of their business".
Can something be done about it?
Thank you Bartosz :-)
The reason I did not deploy that change on sight it is that it goes against bug 48666 which asked to hide the preference:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48666
Since I was not willing to enter an revert war in both Gerrit and Bugzilla, I thought the best would be to talk about it among the eng community.
I do not have a specific opinion about it.
