I think any attempt to change the terms of a statement whereby people have released some of their rights, after they have done so, to make it appear that they may have relinquished additional rights, would be regarded as highly suspect and of no legal standing,.

If you want to apply new - and especially more relaxed - terms, each individual will have to agree to them again.

You're right -- if it becomes a problem, we'd need to create a new version "{public-domain-2}" and ask people to "up" their commitment to that. However, that's probably premature at this point. I do think everyone here is doing their best to act in good faith, so hopefully some of the corner cases will be sorted out through other means in the next week or so.
