It also looks like it will break API pretty-printing (see ApiFormatBase::formatHTML()), and do something in Sanitizer::safeEncodeAttribute() (not sure what), and prohibit use of <a href=""> and <img src=""> if those are enabled, and break any scripts that use wgUrlProtocols, and do something unexpected to the 'edithelppage' message functionality by breaking Skin::makeInternalOrExternalUrl(), and break the 'sidebar' message if you use URLs as keys, and break stripping of URLs during section anchor generation (Parser::stripSectionName()), and undoubtedly various other things that I didn't spot in this cursory inspection, not even counting extensions. So, yeah, I'm going to stand by "don't ever remove stuff like http:// from $wgUrlProtocols".
