If the OSMF won't uncheck your acceptance of the CT's, then I think they should at least hold of damaging the database by removing your edits until after this proposed change to ODbL. Otherwise if people insist and actually start removing this data, its time for the CC BY-SA forks to kick in. I just hope all the CC BY-SA supporters can get together and make the switch as smoothly as possible.
