Umm... I'll bite.. ;)

How do we know/tell that "everyone" has upgraded?  (As opposed to just
saying "It's been N+4 years now, everybody must have upgraded by *now*"?)

Of course, we *could* always declare "everybody" as "98% of the sites that
have good contact info in the various Whois databases are ready to go,
the rest know about the issue, and those with bum contact info will get
what they deserve when we deploy" :)
