The reason why action=raw is not supported is that there is no way to report
the content model to the client (The HTTP header Content-Type can be used for
the serialization format, but would be inappropriate for identifying the
model). Legacy clients accessing pages with action=raw will expect wikitext,
but may receive something else entirely, like JSON. 

action=raw does not provide a good way to report all the meta data necessary
for interpreting the data itself. So, it is disabled for anything that is not
text.

Keep in mind that action=raw is a legacy interface and deprecated. Use the API
instead, or SpecialExport. Both report the content model and serialization
format along with the content.
