If by "technical reason" you mean something to do with the code behind
the site, no, not at all. Subpages work, we just made the choice a
long time ago not to use them. A subpage is really just a page with a
slash in the title, the fact that's it's a subpage only causes a few
very minor changes in how things work.

If a subject is worth a subarticle, it's worth an article, IMHO, I
don't really see how having a slash in the name makes a big enough
difference.
