If Commons has a lot in common (*cough*) with another WMF project, it would probably be Wikisource. Both are used to collect existing works that are typically not modified much (though Commons also accepts original creations). But Wikisource has been split into many different language editions for good reason, as the needs of different communities outweigh the benefits of centralization.
More to the point, all Wikisource material has "language" as a fundamental attribute, which isn't really applicable here.
The equivalent fragmentation in Commons would presumably be, oh, something like -
image.commons video.commons audio.commons
