It goes without saying that this should not be done at the expense of 
all the sometimes borderline pages sitting on meta. By borderline, I in 
particular refer to
* the humor pages, frequently proposed for deletions
* the personal opinions
* etc...

I like the proposal in the sense the current situation is not practical.

I do not like it because I fear it will result in a sort of censorship, 
with pages kept only those being of that awful CPOV. I wonder if 
something like a namespace "foundation" could be created within meta, 
which would clearly mention these pages are "official" (whatever that 
means" while others may reflect other opinions.
