Liquid threads did the same thing. Afaik nothing bad happened (although i think its important to have namespace 2601 defined, even if unused).
My recollection is - and please correct me if I'm wrong!! - that there was some intention that LiquidThreads would become the default for all discussion pages on Wikimedia sites, but this intention started wearing off around 2011. It became the discussion page technology for Wikinews in some languages, for translatewiki, for some pages on mediawiki.org and for some other minor areas. Were these ever the target of handling for any scripts or gadgets? Not that I know, but I don't know everything.
Flow seems to be progressing much better than LiquidThreads did, and the intention to make it default for all Wikimedia sites some day is there. So scripts and gadgets that currently handle talk pages will have to handle Flow pages. Will it be a big deal because of the namespace number? Possibly not, but I figured that I'll mention this.

Hi,
Flow has a new namespace: Topic. It has an even namespace number by default: 2600.
