We would like not to do that mostly for one reason: the streets 
we want to map are in an area where gps reception isn't very good, 
so we planned to use walking papers (or other printouts of current 
OSM data).

If the license switch hasn't happened yet such printouts would be 
tainted by the old license, and we would risk using a tained 
printout even if we try to delete existing objects before 
the mapping party (how can we be sure that we have deleted everything?)

This IMHO is fine for small remappings by an existing OSM user 
(if I did something wrong it will disappear from the DB, but 
I can just take my old tracks+notes and add it again) but 
it's not very nice on a MP, when we hope to have new contributors.
