Disable HTTPS upgrade?

You have to jump through significant numbers of extra hoops to end up with actual distinct websites: the default configuration (if you just uncomment the bits that turn SSL on at all), will give you the same site on both -- and if you do end up with different sites for HTTP and HTTPS, users on major browsers will *already* be confused, even before Firefox made this change.

This is a giant nothingburger. Why are people complaining about an obvious security improvement with *multiple* trivial-to-enable opt-outs all highlighted in the release notes?
