According to Brion on wikitech-l nearly a month ago: "[...] it's a software architecture issue. We'll restart [the enwiki dump] with the new arch when it's ready to go." So I guess that means it is being worked on, but it doesn't seem to be a high enough priority. This problem has been around for years now, it should have been fixed a long time ago. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
