Perhaps.  But I am sure that there will be some ways around this too,
from a legal point of view.  Yes, it will make the process of a
project with many individual contributors harder.  But there are so
many F/LOSS projects running without CLAs, and they seem all to do
just fine.

But regardless of such complications, I value more the true
transparency of a project to my contributions.  For me as a
contributor a CLA gives me nothing in reality.  If a project decides
not to accept my contributions due to a missing CLA, then I move along
instead and in worst case I fork the project.  That is far more an
issue for the project than me as a contributor.
