$wgReadOnly no longer means "don't write to the db ever", but if it
gives problems with a ro db, maybe we could fix it somewhere so you
don't need to patch it.

I think they are there, in the underlying tables. It's just not that we
can't view or use them from the views, which is what we access to.
It's a pity, when we know the optimum SQL queries using force index, but
I see the point of the approach, as they could be abused in tables with
only partial columns shown, and private ones covered by the indexes.
