Note that this causes some mail readers (like Google's gmail notification program) to stop working. It's possible that this has been fixed since I last tried it or there is a workaround, but just thought I'd mention it.
I think this is a good move. Turning https on is a case of sensible defaults. Users generally won't think about data security and others being able to intercept their HTTP traffic.
I do wonder if there are any numbers comparing performance with http with https. Should be too hard to measure.
