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 the content becomes so unstable it becomes inposible to use people
would stop useing it.
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.
That would depend on what exactly commons wants to be. En wikipedia
has ~300K free images hosted localy so in some ways commons is already
not performing that function.
