Yep, but this was before "forking" WikiNews or at the very beginning of that project. Shouldn't we draw a line now and leave the news to WikiNews, only remerging into Wikipedia once importance is clearer and deeper analysis is available from secondardy sources?

Just because something happened recently doesn't mean it should be included in Wikipedia. Granted, Wikipedia will generally have less information on a current event than Wikinews (given WP's greater emphasis on verifiability) but that doesn't mean that no article is better than a short article. Besides which, these sorts of articles are generally plastered with WN links to provide the more up-to-date, less verifiable information.
