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.
