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.
