As much as meta-posting is discouraged in general, I believe part of the reason HN has stayed high quality for so long is that meta-discussion is occasionally tolerated. For example, when the community voted to ban valleywag stories.
That said, rather than starting meta discussions I prefer to submit good content. I felt like writing a rant about the state of HN last week, but I submitted a paper on red-black trees in Haskell instead. It seems like a more constructive approach.
