There are no shortage of images on enwp which are marked with something like:

{{GFDL-presumed}}, perhaps? Not sure.
There are a few thousand yes but the problem is that only works with an old working of the upload page that fr.wikipedia did not have when the image was uploaded. see

Obviously it requires common sense, and some thought about the context and content of the image, but it's a legitimate decision to make, especially in contexts such as this (where we *know* the uploader was a community member, we *know* they knew and understood our copyright situation...)
Except they made a posertive choice in favour of CC-BY-ND
