[OSM-talk] Contact And Remap Campaign

"I don't remap because I lack official and final rules (and tool(s)) for what needs to be remapped."
+1

In addition to this my other reasons are:

* Limited time vs. Possibility to reduce re-mapping needs by undecided accepting the new license+CTs. Toby  has clearly detailed how powerful this _may_ be. 
(Note-to-self: 2do)

* Possibility of considering undecided as accepted (if they don't respond) due to the listed imho good reasons (that, in essence, many if not most undecided don't know of the change and assumingly would accept if they would know) 
(note-to-OSMF: 2consider)

* the above (and other) undecided impacts to remapping in cases where features have been mapped over time by a mix of accepted, declined and undecided mappers. 

I may well not understand something of the big picture here but I think it could be a good idea to have at least a month or two of time between the time when undecideds are considered accepted and before the switch/"cleanup" is done in the data, would be imho good to be combined with what someone suggested as stating clearly that if those who are undecided and don't respond now will complain later then the cleanup of their data will happen later than sooner (as the community's time permits). 
This would (hopefully) dis-encourage those who "everyone" knows will not accept the license change (and who know about it) but who are not declining for whatever reason.

I don't remap because I lack official and final rules for what needs
to be remapped. In my neighborhood there are many tainted roads that
will cause the network to break and I tried to remap one street. I
found that I don't know
a) whether to replace node without tags created by decliner it the
node was moved from the original position
b) whether moving all nodes and checking all tags make way clean or I
need to delete it and recreate
c) how to remap a way and don't break the relations
etc.
And most importantly, I need a tool that tells me if the state of the
map after applying my changeset is clean or not.

For this reasons I'm not remapping and waiting for more informed
mappers to do it or for OSMF to delete the data they don't like so I
can than fix it being 100% sure what needs to be done.
