Not really. The idea of a "featured article" is fairly specific to Wikimedia's goals, and doesn't particularly belong in the software as a special case. Templates and categories exist specifically to allow this kind of flexibility to be implemented *without* developer intervention. If you want a list of featured articles, you can easily get it by joining the page table to the categorylinks or templatelinks table. That this isn't standardized across projects is something for the projects to deal with among themselves if it's viewed as an issue. (Standards for good/featured status are pretty disparate anyway between the projects, I suspect.)
