Is there anyway we can set things so that mirrors

actual namespace content and not talk, user and WP administrative
pages?
Yeah, not put it in the dumps. However, effectively proprietising
Wikipedia in such a manner (remember, the project space is GFDL too)
doesn't really sit well with the "free content" thing.
Most mirrors wouldn't want that stuff to mirror Wikipedia anyway.
Those that do, are either Doing It Wrong or really do want to mirror
the project space too.

Umh, this might be a stupid question, but since I don't know any
better, I'll ask anyway...
What would be wrong with having sectioned dumps? With
mainspace and article talk pages in one dump section, and
Userpages, userspace subpages and user talk pages in
in another section of the dump, and a third dump for all
the wonderful "Wikipedia" namespace pages and their
talk pages.
That way everyone can pick and mix...
