Also, it'll be fun when every MediaWiki install on the Internet looks ugly every time the cluster goes down, and I'm sure it would be viewed as very professional to have a third-party wiki with zero users take ten seconds to fully load a cache miss at peak hours. It wouldn't work at all for CSS, since that changes on a regular basis.

Say, do the boilerplate images always present on every Mediawiki page have enough Expires and/or etc. headers to keep them cached around the network for a long time? (Can't tell here offline with images turned off anyway). Seems like optimizing that would need messing with the apache etc. configuration as it is beyond what one can do with php as they are <img src=...>. I.e., well at least we will send "304 not modified", as we (standard Mediawiki installation) are not going to go further to eliminate them asking in the first place... but as you can see, what do I know.
