What exactly do you mean by "permanently reserved"?
Is there some sort of binding legal document which says this? Or is it just a matter of "We could very well change it but we just don wanna"?

It doesn't say "English Wikipedia".
Thus, the _new_ policy proposed by Geritt should be in line with this quote which we have to follow because it came from above.
The http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/* and http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/* URL spaces are permanently reserved for maintaining past links to English Wikipedia, which is currently living at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*.
Since they are permanently reserved for existing past links, no new use of that space is possible.
