Commons most likely will only run a banner. There is currently a straw
poll abut it. The blackout has not even been seriously discussed. (And I
personally think it will not be a good idea because many hotlinks to
Commons files would just disappear without any explanation in case of the
blackout - not something which add us much credibility).
