Besides this proposal is not viable because having a "fair use" repository does not seem to be "fair use" I have to note that the Spanish-language Wikipedia been enforcing the "only free material" policy for at least two years, and closed its local upload recently (about 7 months ago). So the eswiki users asked "why en can use fair use pictures of, say, music albums while they can't" before closing local upload.
Disabling local upload was entirely their choice, and they could reverse that policy whenever they want. Why should they complain about en:wp allowing fair use when they are responsible for their own problem. I can understand why Commons does not want fair use images there. They don't provide any context for their pictures.
