If it hasn't been decided we still have a chance. If it has, it would be good practice (and perhaps make us favourites for the next year?).
I think you missed the point that this year was also "good practice" and demonstrated that Wikimania UK, and a lot of people outside of the organisation, are committed to researching things through and getting this stuff sorted well in advance. Rule Britannia, and all that.
While I don't agree that a bid shouldn't be entered, I do agree that wasting time preparing an unofficial bid, when no-one cares (Wikimania 2007 hasn't happened, that'll be on the radar blipping like there's no tomorrow until it does) at this stage.
