* Adding extra fields to the GROUP BY in MySQL has the potential to instantly
break Wikimedia, because it removes an index hint and forces it to rely on the
buggy optimizer. We've seen this happen before with PostgreSQL support.
* The referential integrity in the PostgreSQL schema is buggy (e.g. bug
#16487), and I think it's generally more trouble than it's worth. I'd like to
see it removed completely, not used as a model.
* Is there meant to be a DatabaseMssql::unionSQLText() function? Because I'm
not seeing it.

I think I'd prefer to see the MSSQL support split out to an extension for 1.15,
since as it's currently structured, it will need constant maintenance to keep
it working, which nobody appears to be offering to do. The changes to
Database.php, Revision.php and the special pages might perhaps be acceptable,
except for the special case in SpecialAncientpages which needs to be factored
out.
