[OSM-talk] Editing of content that will be deleted on April 1st

[Jo]

Critical mass is there, at a ratio of more than a 100/1 and that is of the
people who had to speak out their opinion. As far as I'm concerned, I don't
have a doubt the license change will proceed. So remapping makes a lot of
sense from now on and I'm glad I'm not the only one who is doing it any
more.

I, for one, am glad a date for the transition to phase 5 has been
announced. We still have several months to limit the damages and that which
won't get rescued, will be remapped in due course afterwards.

Richard, I'd simply go ahead and get that area from a different source if
you have an acceptable one. Some people don't agree because they can't, but
others don't agree simply because they like to be obstructive. I'd have no
mercy on their edits. Not giving an answer to your question is also an
answer.

I do agree that it's unfortunate that new contributor's contributions may
get deleted if they are not rescued by somebody before April 1st, so it's
probably important that people are made aware of the situation at hand and
what to do about it.
