Stack Snippets don't belong in Meta
Meta is not a repository, it is a place "where users discuss the workings and policies of Stack Overflow rather than discussing programming itself".
While Stack Snippets contribute to the workings of our site, they aren't discussions. If the purpose of the post was to discuss a certain stack snippet, then it is acceptable, but simply posting a Stack Snippet isn't what meta is for.
Furthermore, we aren't really struggling from duplication of snippets. We simply aren't reinventing the wheel each time, so why are we trying to solve a problem we don't have?
Furthermore, collecting the snippets doesn't make them any easier to find. A person who would even consider using a particular stack snippet is the one who has seen that stack snippet before, and therefore the person knows where to find that stack snippet. A snippet in action is better advertisement than a snippet found in a long list of others.
