Right. It's highly unlikely that Lee will edit the PediaWiki code
in such a way that advanced table features will no longer work,
simply because this is proving to be quite unpopular.
However, there's no guarantee that he'll edit the code
to allow, say, a [[table:]] namespace, even if everybody else wants it --
some other developer may have to do that instead, if it happens at all.
You're probably right that I won't do [[table:]], because while
I've heard support for it, I have yet to hear a good argument for
it. Popularity is not a good argument.
