There's one big difference: when you use AsciiDoc/C/Java/... your build
system works locally. "git mw preview" uses the remote wiki to do the
rendering. It doesn't do so with the remote-helper interface, but uses
the same remote and same configuration as the remote-helper, and it
shares some code with it. It seems logical to let it leave next to the
remote-helper (but clearly in contrib/, not in the core Git).
