Everybody does not want it. There *are* plenty of dissenters, some of which are actually informed. So it is not that simple.
Also, one of the reasons people opposed rollback was due to the bureaucracy crap. I opposed it as I'd rather it be granted automatically by the software, since all it does is speed up something people can already do.

Sorry to be so pessimistic, but since we've taken more than two years as a community to accept a trivial revision of the software that permits non-administrators to revert vandalism in a single step, and we're still wobbly about that, what possibility does this large-scale and revolutionary change have of ever being accepted on English Wikipedia?
Yes, I'd say you're being unduly pessimistic. Rollback was a trivial, unimportant change that a few people wanted. Flagged revisions is an important, beneficial change that everybody wants. There *is* a difference (I hope).
