Of course, the simple option would simply be not to use images on en Wikipedia under a fair use rationale. That rationale (excusing the publisher from copyright/licence violation) is not valid everywhere, nor are the parameters the same.
If Wikipedia is supposed to be a free encyclopaedia, freely usable not just in the USA and other places with similar fair use rationale, why complicate matters with fair use images? Sure they can be stripped out prior to publishing elsewhere in another medium, but the problem is that with fair use images being allowed, plenty of article content will depend on such images.
