I know. That's precisely what i'm addressing. From your email, WMF is "reorganising their databases" so the toolserver can get more admins (less private data is replicated/stored at ts). Any such schema change to the schema would be pretty big, IMHO (and yet incomplete).
If I understand correctly, the only change being contemplated here is not replicating the databases that are entirely secret (databases of private wikis). Toolserver roots would still have access to things like the recentchanges table and hidden revisions on public wikis, and would presumably still have to sign NDAs or act as Foundation agents or whatever to access those.
I might be misunderstanding, though. If only entire databases need to be hidden, why can't the toolserver just be set up not to replicate those, given that MySQL supports that?
Could be done. We're also fine with new toolserver roots as long as we approve em too for now.
