It probably should have been extended, if for no other reasons than that votes continued to come in at a pretty good clip and there is no pressing reason to close it on deadline.
If I were a developer or a WMF executive, I might pause at implementing a proposal for quite significant change on the English Wikipedia based on a poll with only 320 participants.
I am afraid this one is serious.
Asking Foundation staff to overrule a community decision is not going find support here. However vaguely you phrase it. Sort it out on en.WP.

Well, it is serious, and your comment begs the question I think. For something as significant as enabling the FlaggedRevs extension, is the support of 250 editors sufficient to constitute a community decision? As I said, if I were the last decision maker before the switch is flipped, I'd have to think about that. Anyway, I suppose my comments may contribute to the FUD surrounding FlaggedRevs, which I regret. If the most recently polled version of the extension gets enabled, I'll do my best to make it work as well as possible.
