Nice qouting. :-)
I can't say I care about people reading through the interwiki list. It's
just that with the one interwiki map, we are projecting "our" internal
interwikis, like strategy:, foundation:, sulutil:, wmch: onto external
MediaWiki installations. No-one needs these prefixes except WMF wikis, and
having these in the global map makes MediaWiki look too WMF-centric.
One central intwerwiki map with an extra flag? May be branched for WMF and
general as well as maintined together.
What if filling the interwiki table with predefined links was an installation option,
possibly with several lists, and void?
