There should be a new announcement soonish.

New announcement.

Compact language links will be deployed to Swedish Wikipedia today, but will be opt-in for active registered users.

The new discussion wasn't at all as heated – just one single question in five days – and I think deploying it as opt-in for active registered users together with a simple way to globally disable it solved most (but not all) issues editors had.
