Yep. Sucks, doesn't it? Unfortunately, if it's a consequence you're
unwilling to accept in any circumstances, you should probably think
twice about releasing your contributions under the GFDL.
Even so, we could do more to discourage it by not including the user
pages in the standard dumps.
We already offer a dump that's almost specifically made for mirrors,
the _articles dump which is the smallest of the lot and doesn't
include user pages. I don't see why anyone interested in hosting a
mirror wouldn't grab that as it's the smallest of them all and the
only one you'd really care about if you wanted to host a mirror of the
article namespace.
