There is one problem with this.

There are people who are remaining "undecided" so that
remappers will leave their work alone in the vain hope that the
undecider votes in our favour.

Then at the last moment they will decline, thus ensuring maximum
damage to the OSM database on April 1st.

So, If we decide to now accept an undeciders work then remappers will
surely leave it alone and then when the undecider turns into a decliner
on or after the changeover date, then they will have succedded in damaging
our database.

Therefore if we decide to auto-accept an undeciders work, this decision
must be irreversible and must be taken soon (within the week).

Otherwise we should remap the undeciders roads as fast as possible.

I guess (IANAL) that maybe if we do take over the undeciders work and
they complain, then we could remove that data at OUR liesure by remapping it
one way at a time,over the next year or so.
