I disagree. Most setups are not $wgConf. We
shouldn't be adding a column
for a database which only works for $wgConf.
Turns out I was mistaken: this is not driven by $wgConf, but by
LoadBalancer_Multi, which can be configured through $wgLBFactoryConf
[1]. Normally, configuring that would only really make sense in a
$wgConf enviroment, but it doesn't depend on it AFAIK, and allows
access to shared DBs and the like. $wgLBFactoryConf is way easier to
set up than $wgConf, BTW.
