Ultimately, I would like it to be addressed in Wikidata. In the meantime, multi-megabyte datasets will have to be split up, for $wgMaxArticleSize if nothing else.
I expect that, in time, Wikidata will be able to serve some of those usecase, e.g. the one given by the languages Module on Wiktionary. I am quite excited about the possibilities that access to Wikidata together with Lua will be enabling within a year or so... :)
Not all use cases though should and will be handled by Wikidata obviously, but some of those huge switches definitively can be saved in Wikidata items.
