Good customer service is "We need to make some changes, we understand that this is disruptive, we want to make this as easy as possible for you, here is what we are doing to help you during the change, and although we definitely are going to make the change, we are open to suggestions about how to make the transition less onerous."

There is no "we" and "you", while at some time in the future the LWG may 
give its "official seal of approval" to whatever the "rules" are, it is 
up to the community to actually come up with that set of rules.


And while we are not quite there yet, outside of some corner cases what 
we have on 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/What_is_clean%3F 
seems to be very close.  Frederiks tool and others are in any case very 
near to what will happen. BUT both decliners and non-responders can 
still accept the CTs so the actually underlying data is still in flux 
and it is up to -you- to decide what to remap and what not in your area.
