Making the full history dump process scale to en.wp, and dumps more
reliable in general, is a high priority project. It was assigned to
Ariel, but due to escalating tech support priorities, will need to be
re-assigned, probably to Tomasz, after some further internal
discussions about a desirable and feasible architecture. Brion is
working on a revised project timeline. We've made incremental
improvements last year, but we'll definitely want to move towards a
situation where full public dumps of pretty much everything can be
expected at least on a monthly basis.
