Thanks for this question :) - I also want to know.
From my perspective it does not look like this and even
the data inconsistencies appear when we have no commons copy on a mysql instance.
And: DaB experimented with federated tables for commons too and we decided to not do
this since it does not perform from the start.
Probably nowadays when I planned something new in this area (which does not seem to make
sense for TS) I'd really give Galera a try -

2. 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.
Thanks for telling...
Cheers
