And now FlaggedRevs is enabled on en.wikibooks too.
Should I can try to forward this conversation to foundation-l to start a new flamewar or any staff member (not only from the technical staff, but any staff member, including the two that have received the fwd sent by Gerard) is willing to send a public answer this year? :-)

Hoi, There is at this moment no priority given to such requests. An other good example of how long people are expected to wait can be found in the creation of the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia that is currently waiting for 115 days without any acceptable excuse.
The WMF has hired more developers, simple things like keeping the community served by the technical implementations that only developers can do is not part of what they do. I can, with difficulty, accept that volunteers do not want to do the necessary work. With the developers employed by the Wikimedia Foundation this argument fails and, it is an indication of a lack of priority given to requests like this by the WMF organisation. Alternatively it is a lack of interest in what the organisation is interested in. It is clear that outreach is to be done to those who are not yet part of our communities.
Please Sue, Erik can you argue why our organisation is to be found lacking ? Better still, do not argue and ensure that the work gets done. Thanks, GerardM

According to http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=flaggedrevs.php, FlaggedRevs is enabled on de.wikipedia, ru.wikipedia and en.wikinews.
The extension is requested to get enabled on als.wikipedia (bugzilla:13968), de.wiktionary (13969), pt.wikinews (14254), en.wikibooks (14618), he.wikisource (14648), zh-classical.wikipedia (14715), eo.wikipedia (14728), ru.wikiquote (14863), ru.wikisource (15006), uk.wiktionary (15335), fr.wikinews (15346), hu.wikipedia (15568), pl.wikipedia (16177).
Is there any special reason for not enabling on those wikis (like
extension
still needs to be fixed for security/stability issues) or it is only the usual backlog at shell requests? Is recommendable to make more requests
at
this time or to wait a few more months?
