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.
