I wish we had caught this problem earlier, so we could come up with
something better.
I think this is a reasonable course of action to take. However, I don't
think we should delude ourselves into thinking that (a) deals with the
license issues.
I think we should do our best to get another release out which fixes the
problems with hamm. Call it a bug-fix release, maybe, but the problems
with contrib, I think warrant this treatment. [Also, with any luck,
we'll be able to have fixes for problems revealed in the hamm release.]
