Someone's already pointed out the need to change any source:ref tags at the same time, and that you need to follow the mechanical edit guidelines -- in particular, providing the documentation of the changes in the wiki. I think that the have precise details of the changes and the conditions under which they will be made should be reviewed on the mailing list before you go ahead. There are various questions to be answered such as which highway=* values are included, what happens to refs that aren't of the form [CDU][0-9]+, what happens if one of the target keys already exists, and is there any tagging in use to indicate that a C, D or U number is indeed signed on the ground that should be respected? More generally, I don't think less that 24 hours discussion before starting (even a test run for) such a significant country-wide change is really long enough to allow everyone who wants to comment to provide their thoughts. (Yes I know it's been discussed before, but those discussions didn't really come to any conclusion IIRC, and people could well be away on holiday at the moment.) In particular, I think it would be good look more closely at who has been adding these ref values, and contact any prolific mappers directly to get their thoughts. In particular, I think a lot of Norfolk was done by a single person (not me) who presumably thought the values were useful data to have.
