I just sort of envisaged a "is this image fair use? No? [[Move it to Commons]]!" kind of link appearing on images in the various Wikipedias. It doesn't seem like something that should be inherently restricted, either, since the action can be carried out manually by anyone...
It doesn't need to be restricted, but it shouldn't be automatic. Many images on local WPs have dodgy source/licensing and moving them to the Commons is a very good opportunity to examine them at that point, rather than just transfer them to Commons for the problem to come up later.
I have some support for this position :) see http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2006-May/000222.html .
Suggestion: 1. Copy image to commons (using my tool of course;-) and add a {{MovedToCommonsCheckPlease}} tag 2. Add {{NowCommons}} tag to the original image description 3. Delete image at the source wiki once the MovedToCommonsCheckPlease tag has been removed on commons
