Yes, wikimedia servers will be unreachable.  That is their decision.

Many other servers already do not permit connection, and this varies by geography of IP address, based on local laws or a server owner's assessment of market value.

We have no plans to upgrade for XO-1.5.

Is not a problem on NL3 or ED20 models with OLPC OS 20.04.
