And no arguing is permitted (unless it comes from Polish Wikipedians). Markup must not break.
I think with an automatic conversion this would not be an important problem.
This would be a problem as people got used to that notation.
As far as I know it was only ever removed by oversight. I have no objection to putting it back, and will do so if no one else either does it first or gives a very convincing reason otherwise.
HTML headers do not impose any kind of hierarchical structure. (If they did, you'd have to put all following text and subheadings _inside_ the open/close tag pair, probably looking something like the list tags.) Our ==headers== are simple aliases to the HTML headers, and should not be burdened by overcomplex hierarchy rules, magical collapsing tables of contents (if you need a table of contents, your article is too long), or magical detectors that chew out the user for not insufficiently (s)lavishly constructing their markup.
