Just for example, that one inconvenience is a major thing. I'd say it
should be removed 1) ASAP and 2) before we consider doing more
url-redirecting. 

What removal means is consolidating the userspaces so that cookies can
point to .wikipedia.org instead of xxx.wikipedia.org.

Doing so has many, many benefits for the long-term health and viability
of the project.
