meta=... queries are about the state of the entire site as viewed from

security is easier to maintain.
list= is much better suited for various non-current-user specific
queries. list already has allusers and usercontribs - similar to
getting user info. We could add some other list=... query to get user
contribs and other public data in bulk (for many users). Your thoughts?
This was done in r30197:
* meta=userinfo
** Getting information about new users (a relatively new feature anyway)
has been moved to list=users
NOTE: This is NOT YET LIVE on Wikimedia servers, and no one knows
exactly when it will be.

Hello,
What influence does this have on asking user information on the
currentuser? Is that still in meta or is that also moved to
list=users?

Ok, never mind, from code I understand that the it has been changed
back to its old behaviour.
