As I commented at <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/49604>, the (apparent) lack of an easy means of opting out of this experiment and the increased frequency of severe VisualEditor-related bugs being reported recently both make it appear that an A/B test of this nature would be premature and potentially very damaging. Dirty diffs, inadvertent section removals, etc. are still common when using VisualEditor. Are we really expecting our newest users to be able to spot and correct these issues?
