OSM has masses of CC-BY-SA data and contributors. How will the PD
people deal with that? Start replacing the existing CC-BY-SA data and
reverting any edits to PD data by CC-BY-SA contributors?

It doesn't look like this idea has had very much though behind it.
It's pretty easy to see that two groups of people trying to reach the
same goal with different licenses within the same database is going to
cause friction.
