I would like to see a solution for this deficit of the CDDL.
Then doesn't that just make the CDDL the very GPL like ?
My understanding of the CDDL is that is as deliberately a file based
license and as such the clause you request can't be possible because
every file is unique. The whole point of this requirement for CDDL is
to allow mixing of open and closed source and picking and choosing at a
file level rather than the project level that the GPL requires. If you
don't like that then maybe the GPL (maybe GPLv3) is better suited for
your needs.
While I would strongly encourage people to release as much as they can I
don't think it is appropriate to change the CDDL to require this.
