Just six months ago, everyone was dying for flaggedrevs to be turned on, in the interest of protecting our precious BLPs. Now that we have it, it would appear to be a case of buyer's remorse.

Another interesting thing: If for example you have a series of ten edits waiting to be approved on an article, and one is vandalism, there is no way to simply approve all edits except that one. You have to approve all or nothing, and approving all would allow some clever vandal to revert his vandalism back in and have it automagically approved. There should be a simple list of edits with a checkbox next to them, so that a reviewer can selectively approve revisions, but there isn't.

The deeper critique says that any reform carried out by "the community," not just FR, will fail. It is even predictable that assholes like you will make pronouncement like the one above. Measures to protect the interests of BLP or any stakeholders outside the community need to be imposed on a board level. Otherwise they will be ignored by the insular and ignorant community. The only buyers remorse needed is that of the wider society who have been sold a bill goods by Wikipedia.
