I would definitely echo the concerns of uncertainty put forward by others. Right now all the existing tools have disclaimers that "this is MY interpretation of what will be deleted." We need something without that disclaimer before we can really say what will be lost.
Specific questions that need an answer: 1) As Nathan pointed out, nothing currently looks at way splitting/combining. This could be HUGE deal for the interstates in the US thanks to some declining armchair mappers who did a lot of initial work on them after the TIGER import. I tried contacting a couple of them to see if they would be willing to specifically relicense their armchair edits but never got a response. 2) Are "trivial" bot/typo type edits as are being documented on the Quick History Service wiki page[1] really going to be relicensed even if the user has declined and has not given permission? 3) will the odbl=clean tag be respected? We are closing in on 15,000 uses of this tag. At this point I kid of doubt we will get solid answers to these questions in time to allow for any further remapping before April 1...
