One idea I'd like to float:  we might be able to reconcile the messages
between the two branches, and using the "Mediawiki:" namespace to override
the messages we need to override (pretty much what we're already doing).  I
have no idea just how awful that would be, and there may be other risks I'm
not accounting for, but I'm throwing that idea out there just in case it
might work.

We really don't want to delay the launch at this point, but we also don't
want to break any of the other production wikis in the process of rolling
this out to en.wikipedia.org, so any ideas you all have on risk
mitigation/minimization would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Rob
