[Wikipedia-l] Database Lock is getting old

Can somebody unblock the database at least for logged-in users? 

An uneditable wiki is a dead wiki and I've already mentioned that people can 
read our articles via Google cache so it is stupid to disallow edits just so 
people can read. 

The reverse would make more sense in these situations; not serving any pages 
to non-logged-in browsers (which I don't think is possible but would be a 
nice alternative to the current db block).
