Hoi,
There are no stupid questions. The UW is not to supplement but to 
replace existing the Wiktionaries. The Wiktionaries will be either 
disbanded by the community or they will be left by its users who will 
migrate to the Ultimate Wiktionary. What is the point of keeping a 
Wiktionary when its content is more effectively used in the UW ??

Thanks,
