This sounds good!
In other words: Are we really sure migration to the Wiki is the best
way? I'm uncertain about it.
I agree. The snippet creator should be improved and not killed.
Copy and paste of code from and to a website isn't a good thing.

Using Wiki for coding is a security hazard because any malicious (or
even a well intentioned) person may change a working code to a dangerous
code. Most users will run the published code without checking it, and
checking complex codes is not easy.
i don't think so, if a snippet do something bad, it is quite easy to
remove it or fix the problem. The current snippets are not really tested
as well.
I would love to see a working QA for snippets and extensions but it is
not easy to establish. I hope we can achieve something in the future but
again i see no real difference between a wiki and the current page.
With the current process the changes are more controlled, there is an
announcement of each new snippet, and people will think twice before
sending a (not-tested/badly written/malicious) snippet, as the author of
the code is more easily traced. I don't say it is fully secure, simply
more secure.
the history feature provide everything you need to trace changes ...
