The ones in use are supposed to be imported but some were not.

I think the styling of the high visibility flagged revs mv-revisiontag
is  bad for usability:

It's by far one of the most visible thing on a typical articles. While
I'm sure that  mv-revisiontag is great important to flagged revs
developers I don't think it's *that* important to editors and
especially readers. It's certainly not more important than the edit
and history tabs which it is 1000x more visible than.  Perhaps it
should be moved down and become a component of the review box at the
top of the article, keeping no more than a tab and/or icon at the top
of the page?
