I see no reason not to include it. If people don't like it, just don't use
it. It does have a useful purpose, allowing you to make pages that are
under another page(such as /Changes, /Ideas, /Rants, etc...) without running
into a problem where you have a page named Page_1_Rants and Page_2_Rants and
so on..

Subpages are useful for "private" things, but I don't see why the /
should be any sort of special character, and I don't see what special
support is needed; the current flat namespace code accomodates the
subpages about as well as I would like right now.
However it's implemented, the subpage magic was very useful for creating
and
linking subordinate pages. There's isn't any
similar way to easily create
subordinate pages.
I think it would be reasonable to return the subpage magic to the user
namespace.
