Free culture arose to permit reuse, and should continue that way. We should simply have told the FSF: At least when dealign with text, we regard all CC-BY licenses as compatible with each other and with GFDL, and therefore there's nothing that needs to be negotiated.
It's a great way to get reuses sued by discruntled wikipedians but has no useful function.
Reusers have pretty much never followed the GFDL, yet there haven't been any lawsuits. At best the recent legal contortions will change nothing, at worst it will inspire lawsuits where there would have been none.
