Maybe someday; I still remember going to "en2.wikipedia.org" way back when, so the URLs certainly aren't permanent.
That was crude load-balancing before we had something better set up. :) It's redirected if you've got really old URLs from that period.
I think Minh Nguyen's point was that subdomains can and do change. If we make up a non-standard code for a language, and a standard code either already exists or is added later, then we can move the wiki fairly easily.
