There's no reason that can't be looked into, and it seems like a good idea if we can swing it. Another possibility, given suitably designed queries, would be to add federated tables to the appropriate places. That said, the priority is to first get sanitized replication /up/, in a form that is suitable for extant tools. Having iterative improvements after that is definitely a Good Thing. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
