No, the custom sort key is still a hacky workaround that's less than thorough;
not least because even with a custom sort key, the sorting is still
case-sensitive. To achieve the proper case-insensitive sort that a normal
reference work uses (in English at least), the en wikipedia is more-or-less
using an ad-hoc casing rule - "first-letter uppercase, all others lower" - and
there are lots of articles not 100% correctly "fixed" in this way.

Furthermore and FYI, on en, some folk have decided that case-sensitivity in the
sort is a feature, not a bug.
