This is a judgement call the free software community will have to make.

For me, adding requirements and inconveniences to free software licences is
acceptable when they're the minimum necessary to ensure that all future
users have the four freedoms.

I don't see the confusion.

Can you mix GPL and AGPL code without changing the licence of the GPL'd
code?  Of course, yes.

Can you disribute a combined GPL+AGPL project under just the GPL?  Of course
not.
