It's not that I particularly want it, it's a MediaWiki feature. As to why the
feature is needed, all philosophy aside, for example:

* There are heaps of articles for which everyone agrees that they should be
merged, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_to_be_merged_from_May_2008 , and
until merged other wikis should logically have interlanguage links to both
articles.

* One Wikisource text may have more than one translation in another Wikisource,
and both translations should have interlanguage links.

Possibly this feature isn't as often used because bots go crazy when they see
it.

And I don't think it's as simple as a database update.
LinksUpdate::getExistingInterlangs() would have to be reworked to work
similarly to LinksUpdate::getExistingInterwikis(), and then everything that
depends on it would have to be reworked too...
