In fact, I think we do have too many peasant uprisings, but I don't have the time to fix it right now. My current vision is that they should be rare events, but when they happen, they require considerable resources to put down, not the "ok, hold court twice and send in a bureaucrat" approach of today.
I'm just floating an idea, but after reading my earlier posting again I'm wondering if it's possible to code letting a region lord have the people hold court somehow, albeit with a very limited effect and only in certain circumstances, ie the region loyalty must be high, in order represent their devotion to him/her, and likewise only a max set amount of times month etc, as could be used to try prevent revolts if the lords called away.
