+1, as I believe the hip young things say these days.

Would it perhaps be simpler to have two kinds of interwiki bots? The
cross-wiki ones can deal with adding and removing links, in
time-honoured tradition, and the local ones can just crawl through
recent changes fixing the order in whatever way is accepted on that
project...

...and those projects where no-one cares, they can just remain as-is,
in a vaguely disorganised form. It's unlikely to prove a crippling
user-interface problem if we leave them be.
