Yes exactly. It separates this project clearly from Wikipedia.

I don't foresee any problems with the disclaimer verbiage.  It's almost all verbatim from the WP general disclaimer, with only one addition:

The information on WIkivoyage is contributed by users, whose underlying experiences are inherently subjective. While we believe in the power of crowd-sourcing, Wikimedia has not independently verified any content and makes no assertion that the travel information provided is factually accurate.

I personally find that the acknowledgement of unavoidable subjectivity is codified in our disclaimer heartening ;)

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that the sites are not yet launched, although we are
getting closer. We have encountered a few unexpected issues that have
delayed us, and the overall transfer process is taking much longer
than anticipated. We're importing the data as quickly as we can
without impacting other WMF sites, and are nearing the end of the
transfer process. After that, we'll be doing some final QA to make
sure that everything is working, and then we'll point dns to the new
servers.

In the meantime, the WMF legal team has also asked that we launch the
sites with new wording on the Disclaimer pages, using language as
close to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Disclaimer as
possible. It would be great if we could get some help with the
translation, and make sure this isn't going to be an issue for any of
the communities.

Thanks for your continued patience, and I have to be announcing the
sites' availability soon!

Chris
