Is there anyway we can set things so that mirrors only mirror the actual namespace content and not talk, user and WP administrative pages?
Yeah, not put it in the dumps. However, effectively proprietising Wikipedia in such a manner (remember, the project space is GFDL too) doesn't really sit well with the "free content" thing.
Most mirrors wouldn't want that stuff to mirror Wikipedia anyway. Those that do, are either Doing It Wrong or really do want to mirror the project space too.

Umh, this might be a stupid question, but since I don't know any better, I'll ask anyway...
What would be wrong with having sectioned dumps? With mainspace and article talk pages in one dump section, and Userpages, userspace subpages and user talk pages in in another section of the dump, and a third dump for all the wonderful "Wikipedia" namespace pages and their talk pages.
That way everyone can pick and mix...
