It did the same in the English Wikipedia; they have now been fixed. I
think Lee argued at the time for the new conventions. I don't think it
is a good idea to use differing Wiki markup semantics on the different
language Wikipedias, because then cut-and-paste becomes impossible and
maintaining the code turns into a nightmare.
Having to fight all these gratuitous changes is a nightmare already.
Please either restore <pre> to old meaning on all Wikipedias or
just on Polish.
