I'm not familiar with the details of the data dump process, so I can't
comment on whether it's broken or not.
However, one question that I have is whether the dump includes, or should
conclude, all namespaces, or only articles. In the past, there have
allegedly been instances in which database dumps have been utilized for
purposes such as harvesting oversighted edits in userspace and utilizing the
information for purposes of harassment. I am not sure whether there is
value to providing dumps of other than the content spaces. Comments?

er... I think that was a personal choice by one
of the shell users
the shell user in question is/was a WMF contractor, and i believe it was
done
on paid time at Brion's request--but anyway, the point is the WMF is
clearly
past the stage of running around like headless chickens trying to keep the
site
on-line, so will we see some progress with dumps any time soon?
