What I’ve understood them to say is that, yes, we can turn off the WYSIWYG component of the new editor in our preferences, and use only the new editor’s source mode. But, if I also understood Monchoman correctly, the new editor’s source mode is not the same thing as the MediaWiki wikitext editor, which I imagine to be more akin to the Monobook editor.
