In the Dev chat on stratics.com a Questoion was asked:
5:38:19PM <Brannoc> *Tesurly* Are the harsh keying requirements for entry level->end game raid zones going to stay for future expansions, or will some sort of backflagging option be available?

This was the answer:
5:39:05PM <Tigole> First off, players will be happy to know that there are some *limited* backflagging solutions going into the game tomorrow. It's not for all zones but for a select few.
5:39:17PM <Kalgan> omg patch tomorrow
5:39:31PM <Eyonix> omg!
5:39:42PM <Tigole> Regarding the keying process, I think a certain amount of keying is cool... it allows for guilds to separate each other from one another.
5:39:47PM <Kalgan> jeff is so fired...
5:40:10PM <Tigole> Most of the keying issues have become issues more because of tuning.
5:40:21PM <Tigole> The Karazhan key isn't terribly hard to obtain.
5:40:29PM <Tigole> btw
5:40:33PM <Tigole> Patch tomorrow =P

This is official as the lead designers of WoW were answering the questions asked: Tom Chilton [Kalgan] and Jeffrey Kaplan [Tigole]

    Hmm, interesting. I wonder if that's part of the intended design, so that guilds finally have a source of income from raiding, aside from gold from bosses.

    nyiddle:

    Essentially, certain NPC's will now drop items that allow you to turn them in as a quest, to skip required flagging quests.

    An example, I assume, would be the ability to loot an item from Magtheridon, which then lets you skip the process of doing Heroic dungeons to obtain the Tempest Keep: The Eye attunement.

    Yay! What does backflagging even mean?

    Backflagging is not quite as useful as it sounds. It means after you kill a boss, you can key one more person for that instance. For example, killing Lady Vashj drops a scroll that is BoP that allows the person that loots it to attune one person for Serpentshrine Cavern. Expect to see most high end guilds selling these for a lot of gold.

    Just kiddin' ofcourse, the backflagging sounds good tbh though.
