Exactly. Even today one has to follow the emacs tag on
stackexchange to get notified of emacs questions on the different
sites (SO, Tex, SU, etc.):

http://stackexchange.com/filters/19474/emacs-questions

Adding an emacs SX site just adds one more site to monitor,
because I guess it won't be forbiden to ask an emacs question
on superuser or tex in the future.
