If the license change is important, why don't the people who want the license change make their own coastline, on the dev server. This can be done quickly, right? *Then* you can delete the import, and replace it with the one on the dev server.
I have no problem with that; the PGS coastline is probably even there in the data history and needs only to be retrieved.
In fact, this is exactly what I said I would do - not delete the existing coastline, but replace it with a version that has a suitable license. For some reason John Smith does not seem to share our view that this is a reasonable thing to do!
I think this could be a way forward for all those who fear data loss; we switch to ODbL but continue to publish the planet under CC-BY-SA, containig all the non-relicensed data, until such time that enough CC-BY-SA data has been replaced by ODbL data. I'm sure that, given the proper tools, we'd be there in a matter of months. Of course nobody is giong to kayak the Australian coastline just for a few meters' extra accuracy; but we're not going to have *no* coastline either.
