Creating a permanent opt-out option and compulsory tag for meta (for which a radio button option of Fic/Meta/Podfic/Vid/etc./Other, like the Work Rating buttons, would ensure that at least most works are tagged) does not make it difficult to find for those who want to read it. Having it categorized separately would only make it easier for those who wish to read meta on a fanwork archive to track down meta instead of fic and multimedia links.
This seems eminently sensible. Identifying whether the record in question is podfic, fic, art, meta or whatever in a mandatory selection box would streamline things a lot, now that we've moved beyond simply hosting stories.
