It strikes me that a better solution is to fix whatever tools we're using to determine what still needs to be reviewed. If someone is checking all revisions marked as "new" and needs to mark things they won't review as "deferred" to get them off the list, maybe they should instead be checking all revisions marked as "new" from particular paths. Then explicit deferral will not be necessary, and projects like SMW can go ahead and use Code Review at their own pace without annoying anyone else.
As far as I know, this is exactly what happens in reality.
As I discussed with a few others at Wikimania, it'd be nice to take this one step further and allow multiple people to sign off on a revision, possibly with various types of sign-off, like: * I read the diff and it looks good * I tested this and seems to work * I reviewed the niche part of this rev that I'm an expert on * I am Tim Starling and I approve this message^Hrevision * ...
