A bit off topic but, what makes it impossible? It shouldn't be /that/ hard. Fixing it may be useful for future deployments.
Well, it's possible, but it would delay the deployment. One plan we discussed on #wikimedia-tech was to deploy the FlaggedRevs_alpha branch to en.wikipedia.org, rather than deploying the FlaggedRevs trunk. FlaggedRevs_alpha is what is currently running on flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia
A couple of different ways of going about it: 1. Deploy FlaggedRevs, but then drop back to FlaggedRevs_alpha if there's obvious breakage on one of the other wikis we can't fix quickly 2. Deploy FlaggedRevs_alpha from the start
Right now, we really don't want to delay deployment, since delays beget delays. Thoughts on a preferred strategy?
