As a user of HTTPS Everywhere ever since it was announced, I look

to the improved rulesets.
Apparently, my ruleset is already included in the development version of HTTPSEverywhere. That is to say, I got a bug report from someone who installed the development build and hit a bug in my ruleset (missing exception for a .wikimedia.org domain that doesn't support HTTPS). I was kind of surprised the ruleset had been included because I did say it was experimental, but I guess it's fine since it's the development build :) .
I have asked Ryan to provide a list of all .wikimedia.org domains that do not support HTTPS, so I can complete the exclusion list in a systematic way (rather than by trial and error in my own browser). When that's happened, I believe we can declare the ruleset to be stable and ask the HE folks to ship it.
Any update on this?
I just did a fresh install of HTTPS Everywhere and it's still using the https://secure.wikimedia.org/ rules.

HTTPS Everyehwere's release period is slow... incredibly slow.
It took ages for the mediawiki.org rules that were already ready and in their repo to finally be released.
