Until now, my assumption was that OSMF is eager to say "the database is
now distributed under ODbL" at the earliest possible time after 1st April.
That the database needs to be relicensable before they do that is what
causes all the work ;)
You are right in observing that we could run all the steps on one day
and then publicly announce that the database is now ODbL a month later.

Nobody can add a node that "cannot be distributed under CC-BY-SA"
because everyone has explicitly granted OSMF the right to distribute the
database under CC-BY-SA *and* ODbL, via the contributor terms!

Yes. Anyone wanting to continue a CC-BY-SA database would simply have to
switch off diffs. But I was asking about people who want to continue to
consume OSM updates by the minute; what would we tell them? Drop an
reimport our new planet, or "here take this .osc which will fix things
for you"?
