Personally I don't care if the current license is weak as most organisations will respect its spirit and if a few don't who cares, it doesn't devalue our efforts one cent. I can't see how changing to an unproven license can possibly be worth fragmenting the project.
There'll be some fragmentation whatever happens. I've no doubt that, as you suggest, some people will leave if OSM moves to ODbL. Conversely, if OSM resolved to stick with CC-BY-SA then I'd leave as would several others. There is no "let's just carry on as at present" option.
