The two licences are compatible, so people can make this decision without creating any legal barriers to sharing or collaboration.

Huh? Can I take code from an non-free/AGPL'd web app and put it into a free/GPL'd web app without having to move to AGPL? I doubt it.

And therefore you can't mix GPL with AGPL; because if you move to AGPL you add additional requirements to the GPL'd code which is forbidden by the GPL.

The AGPL seems to give an escape route from free/GPL to non-free software that wasn't present with GPLv2/AGPLv2, killing one of GNU GPL's unique selling points.

I think AGPL is nuts, worse the the GFDL mess.

Not everything from the FSFis good.
