Remove wiki offline Do not allow diffrent languages on same feeds Delete unused accounts Delete dangerous information Acknowledge that the sole creator could be anyone, and expects more order in a hectic database with too much junk being reedited over and over. Once its written correctly do not allow repeaters to do over incorrectly work that was ligit. Figure out how many angles are approaching the database. This toolserver can cause havoc or can contain order depends on proper knowledge used in operating it.

Hi,
at the office hour yesterday (cf. http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-office/20130430.txt):

There were never answers to this, so I bring it up here again:
How were "almost /all/ of the problems the TS have had with replication" "caused by that redundancy and trying to keep it synced"?
What limitation will the Toolserver have at some point?
As to #2: From what I've been told this has to do with future sharding plans for the databases, and due to a change in how we'll be doing replication. Of course, I've heard this in passing. For answers to both of these questions you'll need to talk to binasher and/or notpeter on IRC, as they are the ones doing the database work.
