I guess it just indicates that since the Foundation has broadened its scope so much, there's less of a focus on inter-language issues on Wikipedia, and more on all projects (of which Wikipedia is just one). Each Wikipedia (to an extent) sets its own policy, and with the rise of Commons, OTRS and the implementation of stewards, there's little interwiki content/issues (apart from press) which is relevant to the Wikipedia projects in isolation from the other projects.
Plus WikiEN-l has cooler list admins. ;)
