Backwards compatibility?
That's no reason for not making software more efficient, where possible ;-) That's also why I wrote something about "optional", too. Because for current MediaWiki wikis there is a much more efficient way of retrieving (only) certain contents (langlinks, categories), there should be a method of using that advantage! Will reduce load (bot owner's and server's)...
