As per the implementation plan [1], we intend to move to phase 4 this
Sunday 19th June or as soon after as is technically practical. This will
mean that anyone who has explicitly declined the new contributor terms
will no longer be able to edit, (unless they decide to accept). This
currently numbers 406 in total compared to over 191,000 who now
contribute under the new terms. They or our forking folks may wish to
grab a planet dump now and another one just before the phase 5 cut-over
to ODbL. Planet dumps are generally made every Wednesday as of 11:01 UK
time and become available 3 days later. Next week's version will
probably be made on Tuesday due to the coming UCL shutdown.
I would emphasise there is currently no need to remove data from the
live database since the license is still CC-BY-SA. I believe there is no
urgency to do so until acceptances have been maximised, local issues
that have a near term solution have been addressed and there is a sense
of community consensus that it is time. The License Working Group will
continue listening to all feedback.

Mike
