I noticed that since we enforce SSL on Wikipedia for everyone, Wikipedia is much more restricted in some countries, such as China, where it's entirely blocked (I think only SSL is blocked, but users now have no option to fall back to non-ssl version).
Is there some non-ssl mirror for people in these countries? Or did we just gave up on "free knowledge for everyone"?
