Sorry if I gave that impression. Indeed, I have direct evidence 
otherwise. When I run low on things to worry about, I pull up the 
spreadsheet I built showing the wide config variations in uses of 
FlaggedRevs. Not that it's worrying on its own; it's nice to see people 
using it and adapting it locally. It just means that potential bugs are 
harder to spot.

All I was trying to say is that the requested approach for the English 
Wikipedia, called Flagged Protection,  differs from the existing uses.

For those unfamiliar, Flagged Protection is described here:
