12 What about a mechanism (in-doc comments or the like) that would allow
13 existing authors to indicate that they're OK (or not) with a future
14 upgrade to CC-BY-SA 3.0?

16 If authors on existing docs were encouraged to take advantage of such a
17 feature/policy as opportunity invited, it'd lessen the work to eventually
18 upgrade at least some existing docs, as well, tho it wouldn't help that
19 much for those no longer involved, who would in any case need to be
20 contacted manually before such an update. But it would at least stop the
21 problem from getting worse, and would incrementally ease the work
22 necessary if someone eventually decided to actively try for an update.
