Most backups run off of trunk. The stuff I have in my branch is the
parallel stuff for testing. 

http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Dumps details the various scripts.

No, xmldumps-phase3 can't be removed yet.  I have yet to make the
changes I need to that code (and I won't make them in core immediately,
they need to be tested thoroughly first before being checked in).  Once
I think they are ok, then I will fold them into trunk.  It will be a
while yet.
