Just to be clear, the transition to Flow won't break wikitext discussion permalinks, either, will it?
There are a lot of things that are possible on talk pages with wikitext that I know I can't do with LT (one time someone insisted on a biased and inaccurate summary.... years ago) and since Flow is more or less still up in the air as to the details, I am hoping there is more than one way to find out about this than waiting for time to tell.

Yes. We want to communicate plans, and it feels silly to begin every sentence "We'll probably, ... " "We think...", "Most likely...". The truth is you learn by doing and plans change accordingly

@ James Salsman: Yes for thread links. No for Summary-namespace links.
I wonder how often people link to a particular reply in a LQT thread, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:BreadCrumbs/Preferences...)
I assume people link to threads, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summary:Extension_talk:BreadCrumbs/Preference...
It seems farfetched that someone would link to a thread summary e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summary:Extension_talk:BreadCrumbs/Preference... ; just link to the thread and visitors see its summary, if any.
