I agree, 100%.
But I did not want to include yet-another bastard-hackish API method
in our trunk/; and there was a bug report since the absence of this
feature was causing interwiki.py bugs... :/ That's why I included
this, even if it's unsatisfactory.

But yes, in the perfect world, we'd all be running API-rewritten code ;)

Actually, if you ask, I would be in favor of "freezing" trunk, to
force us to work on the rewrite branch. No more bugfixes or new
features until the release of the rewrite branch? :p
