Can you give us a little more context? I can see that there is a proposal to create a separate meta wiki just for the english wikipedia, presumably because many things currently on meta.wikipedia are not really applicable to other wikipedias?
Uh. No. The proposal born from the fact several editors from the english wikipedia recently decided to entirely fix meta as they believed it was best. THeir work to categorize meta generally met approval. Their work to clean meta (understand speedy delete) generally met opprobe.
This is the way I see it, too. In general I lean towards keeping documentation unless it's absolutely useless--and I'm not about to make that call. I will be working on categorising pages in main namespace for a while, in the hope that this will help us to at least see all the documents as part of the organisation of meta, and further refine it to correctly mark those that are, at least for now, inactive.
