I would prefer the second scenario over the first; I do think you have legitimate concerns that we should try to work on. Please help us to make that possible.
You are ignoring the other players. The FSF and art libre. If there were to be any changes to the CC-BY-SA we might have to talk to the EFF since we probably don't want them splitting their Open Audio License off again.
Until we see a full draft there is little community can do either way.
