He also pointed out that RecentChanges was getting too cluttered with changes ''not'' directly related to encyclopedia content.
The key reason I'm on board with Larry's proposal is because I think RecentChanges on Wikipedia should show ''only'' changes to articles and Talk ''about'' articles and ''no'' changes and talk about meta-wikipedia issues. The only way to do that is to push meta-discussions completely out of the Wikipedia.

... why not have a vote on it?
I do not support this call for a vote; however, we ''do'' need enough Wikipedians to unequivocally get behind a course of action (or to say they want to take no action) so that the whole community can see that consensus has been reached.
And so here's my declaration. I am in favor of creating a wiki based on Magnus' PHP software at http://meta.wikipedia.com/ that hosts all meta-discussions (commentary, personal pages, etc.).
When the metapedia comes online, I will do my part to move commentary from www.wikipedia.com to meta.wikipedia.com and to keep it there.
