This would not be easily reversible, since the pages would all have to be
manually moved (and there are undoubtedly a lot of them). I don't think this is
happening until you get actual consensus on-wiki, rather than the small and
fairly divided discussion you linked to.

Actually, a bot could do the conversion, or ultimately, a script run on WM
servers and whatnot. But I don't think this is a good idea. my $2*10^-2

This didn't gain considerable support on the English Wikipedia itself, so the
bug is kind of moot now. Marking as closed, WONTFIX.
