I have a whole list of features that we lack. Another one is better multilingual support. Commons is multilingual, but the software doesn't support multilingualism on content pages well. Commons created a whole bunch of rather esoteric templates to work around the limitations of MediaWiki. Template:ISOdate is used to render dates in a localized format. It's used on 6.5 million pages and it's logic is rather complex. I guess it would be a big performance gain for Commons if MediaWiki would natively support the functionality of ISOdate.

I don't see there was any bug requesting that. Can you make a list of the templates that would be replaced? That would be {{ISOdate}}, {{date}}, {{I18n month}}, what else?
