CC-BY-SA isn't an ego trip for
thousands of co-contributors. These are inappropriate uses for article
space and page display space."
This is absolutely right. The objections in the thread rely on very
un-Wikipedian expectations of individual credit and of the articles
only ever being presented electronically. They are culturally and
technically wrong.
Why is Wikipedia going for dual licencing, though??? The reasons on
the talk page are hardly compelling.
