Just to be clear, the transition to Flow won't break wikitext discussion permalinks, either, will it?
There are a lot of things that are possible on talk pages with wikitext that I know I can't do with LT (one time someone insisted on a biased and inaccurate summary.... years ago) and since Flow is more or less still up in the air as to the details, I am hoping there is more than one way to find out about this than waiting for time to tell.
