Nope, it's a software architecture issue. We'll restart it with the new arch when it's ready to go.
I don't know what your timetable is, but what about doing something to address the other aspects of the dump (logs, stubs, etc.) that are in limbo while full history chugs along. All the other enwiki files are now 3 months old and that is already enough to inconvenience some people.
The simplest solution is just to kill the current dump job if you have faith that a new architecture can be put in place in less than a year.
We'll probably do that.
