> We use HTML5.

No, you don't. You still output out-dated garbage like <center> and <font>. I
consider a single <center> or <font> tag a *lot* more dangerous than thousands
of align attributes.

I wouldn't be here if your decision would make sense. But it does not. As long
as you do *not* output valid HTML5 all of your arguments are irrelevant.

As long as you output <center> tags there is no reason to not output align
attributes.

Simple.

Dropping a few random snippets for being "invalid" and breaking them the same
time is just lazy. All it does is adding confusion. I think I said that
multiple times now.

> WikiText is not HTML

No, that's not true and you know it. Things like <small> tags or class
attributes are simply whitelisted in the MediaWiki parser. When I write
something like <small> it actually *is* HTML. When I wrote align="center" in a
template it actually was HTML till last week.

Now it's not HTML any more. Instead it has a special meaning in WikiText. Since
last week it became *different* from what it was the week before.

What you did was simply dropping a feature. Instead you are outputting
something that may or may not be intended by the template developer.

Dropping a feature requires community consensus.
