Just to avoid a panic: Anytime I say something like "if we get rid of X in favor of Y", I don't mean that we will completely and abruptly remove X in favor of Y in a way that breaks existing sites in the process. To me, "get rid of X" simply means that we'll start the process of migrating things to Y, but continue supporting X for the time being and provide tools/mechanisms to simplify the migration. So, in the case of [[<<]], if a new syntax is identified we'd simply introduce the new syntax, but leave the old [[<<]] syntax enabled for a while. After sites have had a chance to convert pages to no longer use [[<<]], we'd move it to be an optional markup in the transitions.php script. My other comments about leading spaces, spaces in pagenames, and other items that appear should generally be read the same way-- if a proposed change could break an existing site, I generally mean that we'll set the change as a target goal and then start taking steps to reach the goal but with minimal disruptions to existing sites.
