That would severely break the Squid cache. In non-technical terms: if we enable this and people actually use it, the site goes down.
I've wanted a way to preserve the language for anoymous users for years. (On foundationwiki in particular, since there's no way for people to login and set their preferences language on that wiki.) Translatewiki uses [[Extension:LanguageSelector]], which instead sets a cookie for anonymous users (we'd use ?setlang instead of ?uselang)... but that doesn't work with the squid configuration. :-(

Hmm.. it seems that commons already uses uselang parameter. It just should use it persistantly and the parameter should be passed via the links from small wikis.
There's a bug about this, by the way: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4125
