Sure, but it might be not a great experience if not enough people watch
both or move to discourse. ie, people asking questions there or starting
discussions and no one answering them.

So, if people want to discuss in discourse, great, but I don't think we
should create a vast sea of empty topics until/unless people are needing
them.
