What would you say if I uploaded a bunch of pictures of my son to Wikipedia Commons? Would they be deleted? For me there's a lot of value of Flickr being a space I can upload photographs that I choose, rather than needing to wonder if "it likely to be useful to a Wikimedia Foundation http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/ project?" I'd rather give my $25 a year to Flickr than face the prospect of arguing about the inclusion of my photos.
I'm not disagreeing; that's why I pay for Flickr. I don't think Commons can or should try to do *everything* Flickr does, but within the scope of Commons, there's still room to add a lot of the fun aspects of Flickr.
