Even more: If Labs replication isn't bound by Toolserver tradition, it would be *very* nice not to fragment the data according to the different WMF clusters, plus Commons or not, plus (separate) user databases or not, but have one cluster where users can join as logic suggests. As Toolser- ver merges Commons onto other clusters already, this seems to be possible with MySQL.
It's possible, you just need bigger servers which can hold all dbs. (plus some master/slave replication for user tables)
I suppose it will use the same clusters as WMF. After all, there's a reason the WMF clusters needed to be splitted.
Sure, but tools outside production probably don't need that extra millisecond those clusters are aiming for. Take the Analytics Team for example: They happily consider different tools because they have different goals.
