This is a very stupid argument. If we ever break bug URLs, commit
messages are the *least* of our concerns.

Except that 123456 could refer to any bugtracker anywhere. No reasonable
tool will do anything with that number since it's ambiguous by
definition.

And if I were to use stupid arguments, then I should point out if we
ever have a review platform, then the numbers would suddenly become
ambiguous -- is it Bugzilla or the review platform?
