I don't think that your recommendation is in the best interest of
OpenStreetMap or OSM contributors.
Actually how can you or anyone else make this statement in good faith
when most of the contributors have never been asked what they want?
This old saw again, "JohnSmith"? Every time the community is asked,
they support progress in the form of ODbL rather than the
inappropriate CC-By-SA. Here is the latest feedback for you.

So you can help too.
Would you like to contact a CC-By or CC-By-SA data publisher and
request permission to contribute their data to OSM under ODbL / CT?
Since the CT's are in the process of being revised [1] any agreeement
currently given by a publisher will surely be invalidated if the new CT's
are adopted.
So asking a data publisher now to agree to the CT's is quite possibly a
pointeless and possibly counter productive task.

Would you like to participate in the discussion of exactly how and
which data should be excluded when OSM proceeds?

Would you like to recommend to other mappers to avoid problematic
sources until things are settled in the long term?
Would you like to meet with, coach and encourage new mappers?
