Of course by keeping an articles history available you respect the GFDL, even if you do not appreciate it and wish not to have it immediately available. You wouldn't want to actually do that now... Would you? Afterall, the whole debacle relies on Wikipedia being able to destroy GFDL'd content.
The GFDL doesn't require anyone to distribute the texts that it covers, and Wikipedia is no different from anyone else in this respect - it's under no obligation to continue to distribute the articles which are contributed to it. All that the GFDL requires of Wikipedia is that it keep track of who's contributed to the text that's available.
