I would say that (as Erik said) in some cases it's a good idea.  I doubt that 
we could have done the work we did on Strategy wiki, had it been housed on 
meta.  Some wikis wish to set different standards for what can be included, and 
that's difficult to do if you have an extant wiki that has its own standards 
and rues.
