Totally understood that, but why we ARE using hard links for interlinks in the
first place? My point is, I don't really care what we're using as long as they
work, but it's no sense to treat interlinks and interlanguage (inter-)links
differently: they always share same properties/features. If it's a link to some
non-Wikimedia projects, I agree it should not contain any hard link parts like
".m.". 

But anyway, just let us see. If after bug 66888 fixed everything goes smoothly,
I have nothing to complain.
