Ok, so the extent of the problem is reducing, but there are still
going to be things added between the deadline and whenever we decide
to switch (assuming we do switch, that isn't definite). It's nothing
short of absurd to have the deadline two days before the license was
released. I told you it was important to run a draft by the community
before releasing the final copy, this is exactly what I was talking
about.
