What we don't know, is that in the future, someone might actually have a good reason for wanting a /Talk page. I can't think of one, but I'm not arrogant enough to believe that I can think of every possibility.
How about this -- we get rid of the capability until someone asks for it, which will be never, because it's useless. I am arrogant enough to think that anyone can plainly see that! If the need arises, and social pressure is there, then /Discussion would do just as well. /Talk is just a convention, many others are available.
The downside of having two different kinds of talk pages is immediate and obvious -- people will be, as the joke goes, "/talk-ing past each other". There will be confusion for no obvious purpose.
