This seems a very reasonable mid-term solution for the impasse. One year should
be enough so that community can adjust it self for the non-captcha world,
without the pressure of a tight schedule, and allowing to get ride of emergency
captcha by it's own decision, and at the same time, a fixed one year deadline
would, like you've said, alleviate some concerns about the principles. I
believe that if this solution gets well explained to local community, it'll
provably be understood, and i can try it if needed.
