If possible, could you compile a list of bots affected at a lower threshold - maybe 1,000. That will give us a better idea of the scale of bots operators that will be affected when this lands - currently in one months time.

I already have the list of *accounts* affected: there are 510 with between 1000 and 10000 hits. Of those, 454 do not contain "bot" (case insensitively), so they might be human users with user scripts, or AWB if that's not fixed (someone please check!), or the like. For comparison, in the over-10000 group there were 30 such that I filtered out.

I'll want to check with Legal to make sure the additional release of account names is still compliant with the privacy policy (I'm almost but not entirely sure it would be ok).

Will the deploy date be moved back if the impact doesnt diminish by bots being fixed?

That's not impossible, but I wouldn't count on it.
