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?
