http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/ still exists and always
will. You can use it if you want.
However, you're talking about changing copyright law, a huge task
compared to releasing CC-SA 5.0 or whatever. I don't think it makes any
sense to constrain your thinking about potential default copyright rules
to licenses that may be chosen directly from
http://creativecommons.org/license/ .
Also, you should know that changing copyright law is very explicitly
outside of the scope of Creative Commons. This is probably not the best
forum for discussion of changing copyright defaults.
