That's complete nonsense. If the new wikis can't start until the
public consultation is over (if you're going to start them before that
consultation, you'll have to do so under the old license, which you
could do now), that is a pressure to rush the consultation. We may not
to privy to all the information, but we aren't stupid. Please don't
treat us as if we are and talk nonsense.

I'm willing to wait and see what the new license, but you had better
have a damn good reason for this, or you are going to have some
seriously pissed off Wikimedians on your hands.
