It's great that Jordan wants to get 1.0 of the license out by April 1st, but
that doesn't then require that OSM adopts on the same timescale.  If it is
published and it still doesn't do what's needed then we just work towards
1.1

We shouldn't let other people's timescales force our own decisions.  If more
time is needed, and there is a lot of opinion that suggests it is, if the
current issues cannot be resolved by April 1 then of course we have the
option to give ourselves more time.
