There's no harm but also no immediate benefit in doing so. Anyone
accessing the content can already use it under the terms of 1.3, since
re-licensing within the FDL is not restricted to the original
publishing entity.

We'll implement a Wikimedia-wide change if implementing CC-BY-SA is
approved by the community.

We'll do it as a whole by means of a community referendum later this
month.. If the referendum fails, we may examine different options.
