Even if we do let it finish, I'm not sure a dump of what Wikipedia was
like 13 months ago is much use... The way I see it, what we need is to
get a really powerful server to do the dump just once at a reasonable
speed and then we'll have a previous dump to build on so future ones
would be more reasonable.
