I think it is way to early to become concerned about actual data loss. While people are given the oportunity to sign up to the CT/ODbL there is no deadline, yet. And if a final decision is made to switch to ODbL and to require people to agree to the CT I would hope there will be plenty of time to actually relicense one's stuff. According to the implementation plan (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Implementation_Plan) there will be a time when edits by users who did not sign up to ODbL will not be allowed anymore. IMHO only after that it is time to nag people to relicense their stuff. I do miss a button "I won't agree" on the CT signup page with an option to reconsider. Then, data could be highlighted that definitely would not survive a license change.
