You can follow the (slow) progress of evaluation here: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-world-scenery/source/browse/810-850-check-log.txt
Once this list has been "finished" the 810 airports worth to be submitted to xplane database needs to be converted into 850 data format, and then (re-)submitted to Robin Peel. Help with this task is welcome anytime here. Can be done onlne, evaluating a simple "diff" on googlecode, single airport side by side. Every airport needs to be checked manually. You will need some skills in xplane data definitions ... but these are documented well. I can also help for quick overview, because with most data it is absolutely clear which one is the more improved airport. To repeat, target of this task is not to loose any contribution from the last decade of custom scenery development and improved airports, collected by Martin Spott. Most improvements have never come to xplane database, so we will loose this data switching to newer xplane data. 810 data format will not be updated anymore chez xplane.
