</melodrama> As an update, things do seem to be improving a bit. In any case, it's not a *critical* situation at this point. The databases are still lagging quite a bit--four hour lags on usercontributions of course the most noticeable. Server lag seems to have cleared itself up considerably. Still would be nice if a sysadmin could perchance restart the db servers or look at (and preferably fix :D) the problem. Thanks.
Yes, that was dealt with.
A bug in the new image code caused something to try to update things on the Commons database on the English Wikipedia database server, which caused errors breaking replication.
Once the bug was fixed, we added a dummy Commons table on the English Wikipedia server so that the replication entries would go through without complaint; by that time replication was about four hours behind, but it's all caught up by morning.
