Whether we want to let the current process continue to
try and finish
or not, I would seriously suggest someone look into redumping the rest
of the enwiki files (i.e. logs, current pages, etc.). I am also among
the people that care about having reasonably fresh dumps and it really
is a problem that the other dumps (e.g. stubs-meta-history) are frozen
while we wait to see if the full history dump can run to completion.
Even if we do let it finish, I'm not sure a dump of what Wikipedia was
like 13 months ago is much use... The way I see it, what we need is to
get a really powerful server to do the dump just once at a reasonable
speed and then we'll have a previous dump to build on so future ones
would be more reasonable.
