The wording could be wrong and perhaps they meant LFR? But that doesn't make sense either because they said that wanted flex to come out at a faster interval than LFR.
The only way we can realistically take it is that normal and flex are all available at once, or that there is gating. Or that it was a mistake. I can't see the entirety of flex raiding being open the first week because they also said they didn't want to force heroic raiders into doing it. Them gating normal and having flex open at the same time is still forcing us to do it (because we have nothing else to do) but, it's at least at a relaxed pace.
Personally I like gating as long as it's not retarded. Sunwell and ICC was too long. If it took 2-3 weeks for all of normal to open I'd be fine with that, especially given labor day weekend being the week of the patch.
