Yes, exactly. As you properly quoted "or as soon..." makes this statement
rather vague.

A clear no to this. "We intend to ... or maybe later" contains no statement
about whether anything has happened.

I believe you noted the guesses and questions on the matter in the German
forum yesterday, the question on this list...

For something this important and controversial, an announcement on talk
would have been in order, containing some information like "will move on" or
"have moved to".

What's more, there's also no hint on how to (not) proceed with re-mapping
data, as you suggested yourself, which will probably make things worse real
soon now.
