I don't know of anybody who has proposed such a strategy (well at least 
nobody serious about the matter). It is clear, at the very end, there 
will be some automated deletes, but with some exceptions these should be 
very limited in scope. But will probably include cleaning objects that 
are in principle CTs compliant, but have had edits that are not, there 
is work going on on the German forum to define a reasonable rule set for 
that.

Right -now- the best thing to do is:

- contact mappers that haven't agreed or disagreed to the CTs (see 
http://odbl.poole.ch). Worldwide we still have a good 60% of pre-CT 
mappers that haven't reacted to now, with some effort that can be halved.

- use the license status tools in Potlatch and JOSM when you are editing 
anyway to only leave compliant data after an edit (for example by not 
moving non-compliant nodes in a way, but by replacing them). This is 
naturally assuming that you have tracks and other information to allow 
you to do this.

- ignore trolling by JohnSmith
