On Wed Nov 26 01:04:12 UTC 2008 a strategy about subdomains rename was made public http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2008-November/047554.html But to my regret, nothing happened until now, I want to reiterate how * IMPORTANT that you rename that mo.wikipedia.org -> mo-cyrl.wikipedia.org domain.*
Dozens of messages, promises, and NO SINGLE REAL ACTION ?!
With all due respect, why is it taking some much freaking time to redirect everything to a new freaking subdomain ? Thank you for your answer.

According to the mail you linked to, the ISO codes have changed, so just use ro.wikipedia.org instead.
Even the Moldovian Wikipedia states itself on the top:
Dacă preferaţi să vizualizaţi Wikipedia în alfabetul latin, alfabetul oficial al Republicii Moldova, vizitaţi Wikipedia în Română. This wiki has been locked (see discussion). To contribute to a future wiki, see the Wikimedia Incubator project.
I assume you are aware of the discussion taking place in 2006: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Mol...
Moving it to mo-cyrl won't really do much different. It will only break links. I doubt anything is going to be on mo.wikipedia.org instead.
So I think the answer to your question is; Nobody cares.

I think you meant few in the western world care. Which is probably true the number of people who can find Transnistria on a map is limited.
However the fact is that describing the Romanian in the Cyrillic alphabet as Moldovan is perpetuating a soviet cultural myth that created during Stalin's day. The continuing issue of the activities of the Operational Group of Russian Forces in Moldova means it's not just a theoretical issue either,
Over 2000 people died in the war in the early 90s. But perhaps you are right. No one cares.

Why are we just talking about mo? If I recall correctly, there were quite a few more site renames that were to be done. Has anyone actually created a bug that summarizes the discussion here and requests that all of the sites be renamed? Since Brion isn't actively working on Wikimedia-related bugs anymore, that seems like the best solution. For reference, here's the list: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2008-November/047554.html
Looking at that mail, it seems a few are missing: * als => gsw: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/23842/ * fiu-vro => vro: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2009-January/030987.html * zh-min-nan => nan * zh-classical => lzh * zh-yue => yue: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8217 all the Chinese ones mentioned here)
I'm sure there are more (mostly non-controversial) ones. Since, as Brion said in the mailing list post, this is very annoying to do... we should gather all of the information now and then they can all be done at once.

If you gotta go out, go out in style.
A word of general advice: When one method doesn't work, don't just repeat it ad infinitum. Try something else.
