That sounds like a great idea. I fear that using additional official Betatests would lead to a worse test, becauses ressources are distributed too much. However, I think that flagged revisions are very well suited for the needs of for example WikiSource or WikiNews and am therefore rather happy if the needs of these communities can be adressed.

I known that the FlaggedRevs extension is under a review stage and their development is devoted basically to the needs from the most known Wikimedia project. This is ok to me, no worries on it. But since more Wikimedia projects have users watching the development of this feature, I think that only two future official wikis for the public beta testing is insufficient.
Wikisource, for example, have LabeledSectionTransclusion and ProofreadPage enabled on all of yours wikis. These extensions may have issues to work appropriately with FlaggedRevs. Enabling these two extensions at the same wiki devoted to the English Wikipedia beta-testing may generate some troubles with the en.wp users that don't known how and why Wikisource have these extensions, to exemplify with only one of the possible reactions. Not enabling these two extensions + FlaggedRevs at someplace may create false hopes. And I think that knowing that issues and waiting for someone with the required skills to fix them when get time to work on it is more proper instead of a community (a Wikisource wiki) gaining consensus to request FlaggedRevs getting enabled and finding that a new nice feature brokes another one.

If you can get me a list of configurations that you would like to test, I'll be glad to set up a mini Wikifarm on my server. They won't be "official" showcase wikis but should allow individuals such as yourself to experiment with and attempt to find bugs in the configuration.
