I'm not familiar with the details of the data dump process, so I can't comment on whether it's broken or not.
However, one question that I have is whether the dump includes, or should conclude, all namespaces, or only articles. In the past, there have allegedly been instances in which database dumps have been utilized for purposes such as harvesting oversighted edits in userspace and utilizing the information for purposes of harassment. I am not sure whether there is value to providing dumps of other than the content spaces. Comments?
