This is the way I see it, too.  In general I lean towards keeping
documentation unless it's absolutely useless--and I'm not about to
make that call.  I will be working on categorising pages in main
namespace for a while, in the hope that this will help us to at least
see all the documents as part of the organisation of meta, and further
refine it to correctly mark those that are, at least for now,
inactive.
