Six - a few points.
With a stroke the Illusionist would become easily the most powerful mage specialist. The only spell of any note they don't get is True Sight. Go Jan!
Who would play an Abjurer or an Evoker if they can play anything else and get both all the abjuration and all the evocation spells?
I think this exercise has to include moving a few half decent spells to Divination.
I hadn't realised that Abjuration was the biggest spell school. I would suggest moving a few decent spells from Abjuration to Divination, to at least give people a moments pause before choosing to play a Gnome. I suggest Dispel Magic, Remove Magic, Khelben's Warding Whip, Freedom and Imprisonment go to Divination (maybe Pierce Magic and Pierce Shield too). This leaves Abjuration with all the 'protection from/shield/immunity/invulnerability' spells and Breach, but also gives the Evoker a chance of actually removing some spell/weapon protections using divination.
I also think that Conjuration/Summoning has too many spells, so I would be very tempted to move Power Word Stun, Power Word Sleep and Symbol Stun to Enchantment/Charm. These all include effects that are already found in the Enchantment/Charm school. There's an argument to be made for moving Power Word Blind to Illusion, and Symbols Fear and Death to Necromancy as well (neither of these spell schools are particularly big anyway).
What did you think of the idea of making a Sorcerer an Evoker? It would at least put some limits on the abilities of the class. I would quite like the Wild Mage to be an Evoker too, although you'd have to move the Chaos Shields from Abjuration to somewhere else!
