You forgot the link:

Most relevantly he asks us to:
"use CC licenses for data and databases now, participate in the 4.0
process, and upgrade when the 4.0 suite is released, or at least do
not foreclose the possibility of doing so."
Is the upgrade to 4.0 automatic, or do the data owners need to upgrade
to 4.0 ?
By reading the license text, I understand that the upgrade is
automatic, but
since I'm no expert, I would appreciate some confirmation.
From http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode :
ou may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the terms

To make this clear, he does not address OSM directly, the blog post is
directed at the general public.
It is a very interesting statement, though. It is not, as you imply, a
reason for not agreeing to the Contributor Terms (these would still
allow us to go for CC 4.0 licenses), but I hope that the Foundation
keeps this development on the radar.
