The code is written and committed to the master branch, backports are available for every bitcoin release since 0.3.19, and I'm as confident as I can be there are no major bugs or "gotchas" hiding in the pay-to-script-hash code. Several of the big mining pools have been testing it and will start deploying it on the main network.
"This stuff" IS programmed in a way so it is only activated on the main network after an agreed-upon time.
There are still two weeks until we look and see how much support it has, and almost a month before /P2SH/ transactions are fully validated on the main network. You want to wait 30,000 more blocks? More than 7 months? That's a darn good way to get everybody to ignore the issue for 6 months and then restart this debate from square one with 1 month to go and a whole fresh set of people who think they're being helpful suggesting using OP_ADD to combine private keys because they don't realize we thought about and discarded that idea 4 months ago.
