Variant tests: switch all newcomers to Variant A
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In T253902: Variant tests: revisit edit completion for A vs. B, we decided that Variant A is the stronger variant of A vs. B, because it causes more newcomers on mobile to edit (while leaving the same number editing on desktop).

Until we deploy T246533: Variant tests: "initiation part 2" test (C vs. D), we should stop our Variant A vs. B experiment, and instead start giving Variant A to all newcomers.

Checked on desktop and mobile on betalabs - no issues are found - now all new users will get variation A

Thank you! This switch was immediately reflected in the data.
