This will happen gradually as they ramp up to the next expansion release.
It was NEVER stated that connected realms would be implemented with 5.4 release, and they've been very informative on the status and what is happening when. Just read up. This isn't a feature u can just throw on live realms overnight, it has many many implicated problems that need to be dealt with on live and cannot really be tested in a PTR environment. This is why it will be slow-going.
