If the new wikis can't start until the public consultation is over (if you're going to start them before that consultation, you'll have to do so under the old license, which you could do now), that is a pressure to rush the consultation.
No, the two are completely separate, as I said. The decision to switch to, for example, CC-BY-SA (if that's what FDL 1.3 allows us to do) has nothing to do with the decision not to launch new wikis right now due to the way the license is phrased. Once we have the text of the final license before us, we'll have a discussion about the best way to create new wikis. And that could be, in fact, to license them under the FDL-only, though I doubt it. But the point of the moratorium is to make that open discussion possible, rather than to silently implement some decision in the "best interests" of the small wiki communities.
