You didn't mention the IMHO two most important points. They are
mentioned somewhere in the mailing list archives, but for the sake of
the discussion I'll mention them quickly here:

What influence will shipping libdvdcss in RPM Fusion have
  1) on the contributor base
  2) working together with other parties

To give examples of what I mean.

On "1)": Some people might avoid contributing to RPM Fusion if libdvdcss
is in the repos. I could for example imagine that having libdvdcss in
the repos might be a problem for contributors that work for a Linux
distributor we all know.

But sure, other might like RPM Fusion more if it ships libdvdcss and
start contributing.

IOW: it's a trade off.

On "2)" It never happened, but I once had hoped somebody could work out
a deal with Adobe to get permission to ship the flash-plugin in RPM
Fusion. I'd imagine having libdvdcss in the free repo could be a problem
when talking about such a deal with Adobe.
