In theory you could point a ForeignDBRepo to a DB + file backend which is not 
assigned to any wiki as a local repo, and for most purposes it would work (not 
sure if file description pages would), but in practice it is fairly pointless 
as you have no way of uploading files.

The wiki to which the repo is local could be private or have its API disabled 
though, that's perfectly legal; and from the point of view of the bot, it still 
raises the same problem.
