Personally I don't think this proposal really changes anything significant in
that regard. I think the our attribution model is inadequate and always has
been. I don't think making this inadequacy more public than it has been in the
past is a significant change.. I have confidence that someday we will switch
to a better attribution model and that it will then be possible to migrate old
edits to that model. I supported the change of license even though it not
address my attribution concerns, because the change itself does not create
these concerns. Trying to hold up the license change in an attempt to leverage
proponents of CC-by-SA to address long-standing attribution inadequacies does
not appeal to me. I cannot agree that vote for a change in licensing can be
interpreted as support for the current attribution model. It only means you
believe the change in licensing is a net benefit over no change.
