Critical mass is there, at a ratio of more than a 100/1 and that is of the people who had to speak out their opinion. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a doubt the license change will proceed. So remapping makes a lot of sense from now on and I'm glad I'm not the only one who is doing it any more.<br>
<br>I, for one, am glad a date for the transition to phase 5 has been announced. We still have several months to limit the damages and that which won't get rescued, will be remapped in due course afterwards.<br><br>Richard, I'd simply go ahead and get that area from a different source if you have an acceptable one. Some people don't agree because they can't, but others don't agree simply because they like to be obstructive. I'd have no mercy on their edits. Not giving an answer to your question is also an answer.<br>
<br>I do agree that it's unfortunate that new contributor's contributions may get deleted if they are not rescued by somebody before April 1st, so it's probably important that people are made aware of the situation at hand and what to do about it.<br>

The original promise was that it requires a critical mass to proceed. According to the OSMF wiki there are fewer than three quarters agreeing, and some of the major countries will lose nearly half their ways according to <a href="http://odbl.de/" target="_blank">http://odbl.de/</a> . Frederick's map (THANK YOU!) is really the first indication I've seen of what the consequences are likely to be, yet what seems to be being said is that it will go ahead in April come what may.<br>
<br>
What are the precise, numeric criteria for proceeding? At the moment even by a vague definition I don't see how one could describe it as a critical mass.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
