Funny, I've been thinking the exact same thing for the past few weeks. If Wikia isn't confident enough in their new feature to enable it in a central location of high traffic, why should we trust it anywhere else on the network? Because the high traffic wikis will be a lot tougher to migrate from new forums to discussions than the less active wikis will be. They even said that the high traffic wikis would be unlikely to have the new forums replaced with discussions until next year. I can't remember where they said that exactly, but they definitely did say it. Then explain these:

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/d

http://starwars.wikia.com/d

http://callofduty.wikia.com/d

I guess those wikis are about "pop culture" so there is big money in having the best social features. Don't know about Call of Duty, but Star Wars and Harry Potter are defiantly a focus for Wikia at the moment. For those wikis, discussions in its current form makes more sense.

For wikis such as the dev wiki and community central, discussions feels way to informal and disorganised to host a serious forum
