I was also confused by this wording. If the GFDL is modified, how does the WMF even have a choice whether or not to accept the modifications?
For existing text we don't. However we could modify our copyright notice to say "version 1.2 but not later" and rate of new edits would see that using wikipedia under an updated version of the license would resulted in using rather outdated articles.
True. Sounds like a recipe for a fork, though.
Hmm, on second thought, either way is a recipe for a fork, with the pro-CC-BY-SA using that license, and the pro-GFDL camp using 1.2 but not later.
