the litigation need may have been a valid argument at one time, but given that there has been so much successful GPL enforcement by people who don't have exclusive copyright assignment (gpl-violations.org, busybox to name two high profile projects), that argument doesn't really fly anymore

Maybe it's not a valid argument, I'm not arguing that. What I'm saying is that the reason why FSF requires assignments for some projects is because of the litigation need, and not because they wish to have full control over the licensing of the code (which, as have been pointed out, they have quite of lot of anyway).
