Instead of having minor amounts of people asking for board-specific requests (i.e. splits and rule-changes, temporary and permanent) why don't we re-enable the textboards and allow board meta-discussion on them?
Why does this get ignored every time I suggest it? Is it a shit idea? Definitely sounds like a better idea to me than letting minority factions on /qa/ give Hiro the idea to split boards. Let the meta discussions in the text boards determine the community's opinion of splits, or let them debate it amongst themselves
I think you overestimate the importance of /qa/.
I really don't think any suggestion from /qa/ has ever borne fruit; the new boards were long-standing requests that predate /qa/ itself. I think /news/ was possibly even hiro's own idea.
In an ideal world a text board to discuss a board's culture and rules would be great and would be used to full potential but I think in reality it would be even less popular than the old text boards.

I don't see the harm in letting them back on the more popular boards
Is this not a better idea than endless squabbling over which boards should get split by vocal minorities on this board? I refuse to let this thread die without somebody telling me my idea is shit, given valid reasons why it is shit, then several other people quoting them going "yeah dude your idea is shit"

Not many people went to the text boards. A sticky would be better.

Maybe, but because the text boards were just the imageboards - images. I believe that if we reinstated and added "btw, metatopics for the board go here" they'd surge in popularity
