Commons accepts all freely licensed files. Under current foundation policy which regards to what is a free license the GFDL is a free license. Thus commons cannot stop accepting such images without changing it's scope. It's also the case that killing off GFDL-only would likely require us by the same reasoning to kill of GPL and that would cause significant issues.
