As has already been pointed out, the change is happening regardless.

While there are workarounds for not being able to use MediaWiki markup, I think it is more of a convenience issue. Just imaging trying to provide the same level of help on Board:Support_Requests_-_Getting_Technical but without being able to have simple markup on the same page as your reply. There would be links all over the place.
