nothing. we will be providing a "full history planet" at the last point
before the changeover itself to ensure that all data contributed under
CC BY-SA is available. all previous planet files will, of course,
continue to be CC BY-SA licensed.
i think it would be good to have this hosted on a read-only server
somewhere, as there may be people who change their mind post-vote and
need to "recover" their contributions. this process would be helped by
making access to the old contributions easier.
cheers,
