But I think the point (at leat originally) was not so much to have the global discussion forum or the global village pump, but to have a common place for Wikivoyage discussions, which so far were held on the old Wikivoyage, but now are stale since the old Wikivoyage is locked for editing, and anyway it is not a WMF project.
Wikisource has a multilingual central project: among other things, one of the goals is centralised cross-language coordination, through eg/
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium
It doesn't seem to be very heavily used, but the precedent is still there. I don't see any reason that Wikivoyage couldn't have a centralised wiki as well...
wikisource.org is there for historical reasons because originally language subdomains for wikisource weren't planned. Its daily "core business" is 1) being the Wikisource portal, 2) hosting languages without a subdomain.
