we won't drop page_html for bbcodes because it really makes the site faster.

This was my ghost fear... now we'll have got a database growing continuously and dramatically

It's hard to add optional fields to BBcodes, so improving SEO in bbcodes is a tricky thing

this was an important reason to switch to HTML.

For such things like PFS it will require to support multiple parsers too, when inserting thumbs, file links, icons, etc.

Actual PFS is already an Achilles heel even without these new complications...

There are more fields with parsing potentially enabled rather than just page_text. For pages it could be also page_desc, page_preview. Forum section descriptions would need markup too. Setting different parsers to each of them would be a waste.

This last consideration make me finally hoping for two Cotonti versions: HTML Cotonti / BBCode Cotonti.
