playing games like this will make people distrust the "or later" clauses.
Let's assess the risks first:
If people choose GFDL, it's pretty bloody obvious (to me) that the relaxed CC-BY-SA license isn't what they wanted.
This is a non-issue for Wikipedia because each contributor owns their contributions - not the Wikimedia Foundation. There can be no hostile change of licence there.
Is there a project that will be eligible for this clause and for which the copyright isn't held by the contributors?
