One group of users that is always being forgotten in this discussion is the group who use Wikipedia over really crappy connections that aren't censoring them. These users will have a hard time using an SSL connection due to the added resources/round trips and have a legitimate non-China/NSA excuse to disable HTTPS after they login (where the added roundtrips are probably worthwhile to keep their username/password safe).
Indeed, and in those case they just leave their HTTPS preference turned off (since the default is off anyway).
