If in Nikola's solution all this works, I wasn't aware of it. #1 to me 
actually seems like an advantage. If data is changed for all wikis users 
must go to the central wiki to edit it. Otherwise it'll definitely lead 
to problems. #2 also is only a problem if we accept that #1 is wanted as 
a behaviour.

Actually I have no specific preference for any of the two solutions. I 
just wanted to hint at an alternative effort.
The only thing I care about is, that _some_ solution is found and 
implemented. Both solutions can be implemented in a short period of time 
if only somebody cared to start the process. It's the most important 
development step for Wikimedia in years. Possibly ever.
