I must confess my understanding of replication is crude, but it seems like a lot of problems might be solved if WMF could establish some form of intermediate replication server that took existing databases, stripped out the private bits, and then offered the remainder for public replication. I'd imagine it could be useful not just for the toolserver, but also to academics, and others.
Given the amount of trouble it is just to maintain the toolserver replica in the first place, supporting third-party users with replication doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me. Is that something that toolserver administrators think they would have the time and manpower to handle?
No, people can either use the XML dumps or get a TS account.
