If the wiki is truly not within the scope of the mission of the
foundation, which *many* people feel is true, then having it on
Wikimedia's servers and domain names confuses people as to what is the
mission of the foundation.

I suppose Wikimedia could continue to host it, on a separate domain
name, in read-only mode, without any reference to it being an official
project, but if someone else is willing to do this it would be better.

And I'm sure someone else *is* willing to do this.  Erik, if no one
replies offering to host the project, I'll do it.  I'll throw it up on
some $10/month hosting site (probably cheaper than that) in read-only
mode and be done with it.  But I didn't respond to Erik because I
assume someone else is more willing and able to do so.
