Personally, I'd rather we did move the 5500 Wikimedia-only images to
Meta.  Making Commons 100% free content would be clearer to reusers
and make more general sense than having a site that is 99.92% free
content.  Of course, such a move would take considerable effort for
relatively small gain, and thus far few people have been interested in
doing this (i.e. most people think it is "silly").
