 I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'd like to

all that much in my daily life.

But making it more clear when the answer is "No."  That'd be
tremendously helpful to Wikipedia, in that it'd resolve a lot of
conflict, and I really don't see how it'd hurt anything.
 Another interesting possibility would be a use-it-or-lose-it provision. 
If there has been no properly authorized publication of a copright work
in the last 10 years, any reprinting is fair use.
