FWIW, thumbs up. Thanks for devising and working on this plan, to you
and the other -www folks.
I confess it is hard for me to imagine the ratio of how many people will
respond, in which time frame. Ultimately, I cannot imagine how many
pages will be affected by the impossibility to relicense them. But those
metrics will be of paramount importance to decide what to do in the end.
One thing that could help with that is then monitor the various figures
and their evolution overtime (yeah, I know, "patches welcome" :-)).
Good luck with this challenging, but very important, topic!
Cheers.
