1) Flying in Draenor is a simple permission toggle.
No new content involved, no new features to be developed. You can already fly with the feather, so all the visible and invisible geometry is in place.
Remember when Blizzard put in a localized no-fly zone around Khadgar in a hotfix? Or made copies of him to reduce the load on the original? That was more complicated than toggling flying and it was coded, tested and deployed (on very, very busy servers) in a matter of days.
Let's be honest here and admit that Blizzard absolutely could have had flying immediately upon flying achievement completion in the 6.2 patch.
2) Just doing dailies I will get the flying achievement before the next Tuesday.
I haven't had a single one of those 1000 Draenor rep tokens drop.
Any delay from the moment by which people get the flying achievement doing dailies is effectively Blizzard going back on their word to the ones who demanded flying back in the game.
3) The uproar was about flying in current content.
I expected to hear about the flying patch being tested on the PTR by now, to be deployed shortly after people doing dailies get their achievement done. I'm sure a lot of people have noticed that this hasn't happened.
If we hear that flying will happen when the pre-patch for the next expansion is deployed there will be hell to pay.
