In addition, there's definitely a problem if projects decide to close local uploads and redirect everybody to commons and:
- They don't warn Commons beforehand.
- At least some of their admins don't apply for adminship on Commons.

The whole point is to be a service project. All wikis that don't allow non-free images were ultimately supposed to use Commons.
If you're saying Commons really can't handle that, then the thing that's seriously wrong is at the Commons end.
