What you can do is create an osm file on your local hard drive, in JOSM download a very small area with nothing in it. New download the area you have made edits in as a separate download.
Select on username so user:xyz Merge the selection onto your empty map and save it locally. Then after the great clean up has happened you at least have a record of your edits. Alternatively there is always the other OSM style maps that aren't changing their license.
