Tim made the point that for a wiki with a very small set of pages (say, 100
pages) pages, Special:Allpages can be useful as it lets you get an overview
of the content of the wiki. That's obviously not too applicable to wikis
like the English Wikipedia, especially if it's creating a lot of
performance issues.

From my perspective, the ideal outcome of this discussion would be
that we agree that the hierarchical list is a
poor fit for the
MediaWiki of today, and we resolve to remove it from core.
+1. I've never understood what purpose the Special:Allpages layout was
supposed to serve.
