The opportunity exist to have all this data in one

It would mean that when a Commons admin decides for his reasons that a file
is no longer available, that a local admin can address his reasons and
decide that it is available for his project. When a file is marked ad being
available for transfer, it is technically only a different setting about
that media file. I would not be surprised when in the technical
infrastructure a file exists only once anyway.
I predict this will be unacceptable to Commons admins. The reasons
advanced will be legal fears. (The actual reasons will be loss of
power for Commons admins banned on a pile of other projects.)
