This would be problematic for our own uses unless the CC-BY-SA / GFDL 
compatibility issues are resolved.  The wording of the cc-by-sa requires 
any derivative works to be distributed "only under a license identical 
to this one", but our own encyclopedia is licensed under a non-identical 
license, the GFDL.  So we wouldn't be able to use CC-BY-SA images within 
Wikipedia under that license change, unless they're dual-licensed under 
the GFDL as well...
