Technical tasks
- Enable transition tracking – https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/272926/ (this means we remember people who opted in and then back out vs. people who haven't opted at all)
- Run a script to opt-out all existing users who aren't opted-in
- Enable VE for all logged-in users (effectively given the opt-out above, all new users) – https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/271712/
- Enable VE for all logged-out users too – https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/271713/
