better, I'll ask anyway...
What would be wrong with having sectioned dumps? With
mainspace and article talk pages in one dump section, and
Userpages, userspace subpages and user talk pages in
in another section of the dump, and a third dump for all
the wonderful "Wikipedia" namespace pages and their
talk pages.
That way everyone can pick and mix...
What a great idea!
(which is why it's already done that way :) ... Also, I don't
believe that most mirrors which actually use the dumps copy anything
but the articles though I don't have any data to back that up)
