Comment (by Ipstenu):

 @knutsp - My feeling is that it's problematic. While having no db prefix
 works in MOST situations, it doesn't work in all. And while we have full
 support in core, that doesn't mean a plugin (who could logically assume
 that prefixes exist) will always work. Database prefixing is standard
 'best practice' according to every DB guru I've worked with. We should
 encourage this.

 Basically I'm of the mind that we should continue to support it for the
 people who did it anyway, but going forward we should try to minimize the
 damage and not let new people do it. And it's not like that's going to
 prevent someone from making their own wp-config.php and skipping over the
 installer (which I do all the time). Just a double rainbow CYA.
