Please let's not add a silly preference like this. Let's just keep operating under the idea that all logged in users will use HTTPS, and keep moving towards that goal.
Okay, I don't disagree. Do you think https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29898 should have a different bug summary (current summary is "User preference for HTTP vs HTTPS while logged in") or should the bug simply be resolved "wontfix" and a separate bug filed?
I have no preference either way, whatever you guys want to do.
