Of course i can't speak for dewikinews in whole, but i believe that the
existence of a central iw-bot would be enough reason to disallow all
other iw-bots and this would really change things to the better. To
be frank, i'm soooo sick of all this iw-bot madness.
On dewiki, once there was an epic battle between 3 or 4 IW bots on one article... turned out to be different configurations, AFAIR.
But actually, I don't see why resources should be *wasted* on interwiki bots. All the time and money already invested woulda be better invested in some central "data wiki" or similar so there 'd be absolutely no need for any IW bots.
