that licensing of all contributions under CC-BY-SA simply continues.

Surely this is two separate steps:

- begin offering a licence to the whole database under ODbL,
- stop offering a licence under CC-BY-SA.

They might happen at the same time but they don't have to.

I expect that the last ccbysa database will continue to be available
as a planet file, just as older ccbysa planet files are available now.
 I suspect that proceeding with two active databases would be
impractical, just as we don't support active editing on the 2006-01-01
planet file version of the database.
