AFAIK It requires a patch, that is proposed (by Reedy,

I'm not convinced that patch is needed. We already have $staticMappings in
multiversion which should allow the new domain to be pointed to the old
databases.
DB dependencies on FlowDB, external storage and X1
plugins, plus some names
inside the rows.
AFAIK these do not need to be changed. For example,
www.mediawiki.org's
database name is mediawikiwiki, not wwwmediawiki. The same is true on x1,
the external storage clusters, and (for example) in localuser.lu_wiki in
the centralauth DB. It already has a domain name which does not match the
database name.
