To answer your BP question: I generally feel that language-specific issues should be left to the editors in that language. If the Italian editors prefer one version of over another, then we should follow their preference.

(Some things do have to be decided cross-linguistically; to take a recent example, the Japanese editors can't just up and create a single template that generates both the headword-line and the definition-block. That violates certain en.wikt-wide standards for what an entry's wikitext is supposed to look like. But nothing like that seems to apply to the change.)

. . . and if you really, really want to know my specific opinion about the change (though I'm not sure why you would?), I'll say that while I'm not sure it's a great idea to put this sort of logic in Lua (since generalist mirrors and tools are likely to be unable to replicate it), we're already too far down that path to look back now.
