A grace period here means that links like "this version" can no longer 
be determined to be https or not just based on the date since it will 
depend on what the editor used. This might make things significantly 
harder on the infrastructure and the current dev priority is to retire 
the old pubrules tool by the end of July. I'll have to check with the 
webmaster on that front to make sure I understand things well. An other 
approach here would be to bundle the https at the end of July as well 
but some folks have been patiently waiting for https to happen.
