I'm reasonably sanguine that a switch to a non-attribution licence would lose so much data that it couldn't happen. But contributors shouldn't be required to make that judgement call unless it's really necessary. A policy statement from OSMF saying they can envisage no circumstances in which a non-attribution licence would be adopted would be enough for most people, but removing the right from the contributor terms would be better.
