I'm sure at some point we'll need to do it, but we haven't really reached that point yet and we certainly don't have the resources to do it yet. There are also a number of significant but important differences between what wikipedia do and what was being proposed for us - all the servers and infrastructure used by wikipedia are owned and operated by them while Marcus was suggesting clustering third party servers which is not something we will be doing as far as I'm concerned. Wikipedia also have all the servers, both read-only and read-write, using the same database, or a slave of the same database rather than having lots of independent databases that try and stay in sync via external dumps and diffs.
