AFAIK It requires a patch, that is proposed (by Reedy, I think), but not implemented.
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.
