Just to clarify things, here, that's a necessary artifact of the way 
mediawiki works: many of the bits of data that should be made 
unavailable are done so conditionally on /live data/.  It is not 
possible to replicate the visible contents of the views and have it not 
break as column values may be nulled or *come back* depending on actions 
on the projects (supression, deletion, etc).

While some of the more sensitive data never hits the replica (like IP 
addresses), It is not /possible/ to create a replica without 
transferring data that can be unsupressed or undeleted -- but might 
never be.
