multilingual support. Commons is multilingual, but the software doesn't
support multilingualism on content pages well. Commons created a whole
bunch of rather esoteric templates to work around the limitations of
MediaWiki. Template:ISOdate is used to render dates in a localized
format. It's used on 6.5 million pages and it's logic is rather complex.
I guess it would be a big performance gain for Commons if MediaWiki
would natively support the functionality of ISOdate.

I don't see there was any bug requesting that.
Can you make a list of the templates that would be replaced?
That would be {{ISOdate}}, {{date}}, {{I18n month}}, what else?
