I think it makes no sense at all. Anyone who thinks it's easier to change the world than to change the transition date in a secret draft license needs their head examined.
Thus it makes no sense for anyone to insist on that course of action to begin with. But if, for some ridiculous reason, that were nonnegotiable or not worth negotiating, it would make perfect sense to stop creating wikis temporarily rather than having to deal with the headache of migrating their license manually. Which is why I objected to the tone of the criticisms of Erik et al. -- there was a presumption of unreasonableness *on the part of Wikimedia* that wasn't warranted without further info (even if my particular theory happens to be incorrect).
But I don't think you disagree with any of that.
