As suggested by Timo - currently we have 'wmgUseVisualEditor' and 'wmgVisualEditorParsoidPrefix' which both need to be defined for each wiki we're putting VE on, which is a bit annoying (and prone to mistakes) - when we have all 295 Wikipedias with it switched on, it will be even worse. We should probably clean this up a bit.
We could replace wgUseVisualEditor with a visualeditor.dblist file, and change the Parsoid prefixes to be equal to $wgDBname.

That sounds like a start, but we're going to want to run some wikis in nothing (no preference to switch on - just not in the .dblist file?), some in alpha (opt-in, limited namespaces) and some in beta (default, all "content" even-numbered namespaces that won't break - e.g. MediaWiki:, Template:, Schema:, ? others). Would we want two .dblist files? And some magic juice to decide what namespaces were safe?

Getting rid of having to configure wmgVisualEditorParsoidPrefix for each wiki would be great (or at least setting it dynamically/automatically from CommonSettings.php).
This is now done and live in production.
