I imagine this really depends on how much the subject is contained within Stack Overflow. For example, consider SharePoint OverflowSharePoint Overflow. A lot of SharePoint can be discussed on Stack Overflow when you are dealing with the object model. But UI and design questions certainly wouldn't fit in Stack Overflow. In an old meta question, it was recommended that if a question can fit on both sites, then post it at both sites and get answers at both.

It is a bit iffy to fully divide a new site if its content is completely a subset of Stack Overflow and there are no questions which couldn't be asked there. But if it's only a partial overlap, I don't see any problem with letting it continue.
