I think this is not the best attitude. (Especially since we can't stop
any Wikimedia wiki using our content, so it's a kinda hollow threat.)
If Commons is going to serve its primary useful purpose, it definitely
needs the acceptance and cooperation of Wikimedia wikis. Alienating
projects with a "if you don't like it, tough" attitude seems
counterproductive.
However I think it is the only real solution. As a relative newcomer
on wikipedia, I find the bureaucracy enormous. It seems that actually
nobody wants to take the decision. I think it is time to do it.
