The wiki is entirely subject to change based on community input. That is how a wiki is built. There is one exception, where I'm going to flex all the bureaucratic might I wield in whatever way possible to prevent the change:

'Structured talk pages' or Flow as it's called

Based on these findings, we propose that wikitext talk pages should be improved, and not replaced.

I will never implement structured talk pages, and will oppose all calls to introduce it.

It makes talk pages look terrible to read and follow and gives everything a horrible grey colour. It removes the artistic flair editors put in to designing their lovely signatures, and all the colour that comes along with it. It destroys the soul of the wiki.

It's clear the Wikimedia Foundation and MediaWiki developers are working on a way to make talk pages more accessible through the current infrastructure of a normal page, as opposed to a complete rewrite of how talk pages work. Because of this and the concerns above, I'm refusing to implement this feature and will resist any calls to put it in  

Using talk pages is so easy to learn as well!
