Please read the preceding comments in this bug report. The reason why this tag
is going to be made available under the name <lines> is to emphasise that is
not only used for poems, but for other texts that require the preservation of
line breaks. This is not merely a "side effect", but the key feature of this
tag.

A merge of an extension into core, means taking the extension's existing
functionality, and placing it in MediaWiki core. It does not mean we add extra
features at the same time.

The Poem extension only provides poem-related (line break preservation)
functionality, so that is all that core is getting in this merge. This is not
the place to discuss other "original expected features".
