That's the same I have been thinking.
It does not make sense to split it. Besides while for Wikipedia we have
Belarussian Wikipedia in official and tarashkevitsa orthographies in
wikisourse that would be one project. Russian Wikisourse hosts tests in
pre-1918 (or whatever exact year) orthography. Ukrainian Wikisourse has
texts which use unique orthography. I'll repeat myself, in case of WP
that would all be different projects.
Besides it does not make bit sense to have la.ws in Latin for
discussions since people can proofread stuff without actually being able
to speak la.
Another thing in la.ws there's a book which is half Russian half Latin.
It would fit multilingual ws just perfectly but now it looks weird.
There are lots of such bi or more lingual books in the world.
As to the communication problems well WD and Commons are doing just
fine, it's no problem really. I am actually not an active contributor to
WS but I always had a feeling that I'd perhaps be one if it was not
split. It's easier to work in big project with all infrastructure ready
and big community to help you, in small on the other hand you have to
face the same 1 or 2 people or the time and personal issues may come in
the way of participation.
I am not a person to have enough energy to run a major RfC in order to
have the WSs joined (as you can see I even failed to show my points in a
structured way) but if such a person shows up I'd gladly support such an
initiative.

Is anyone so bold to imagine that it is possible to revert that mistake?
Or, are we forced to travel along the/ diabolicum/ trail?
