Pretty much.

As for the cut-over...

I'll keep nagging people during the next 5 weeks or so, I will
eventually spam their mailbox (I have the email of the 686 that at
this minutes have still not taken action... 10 or so less tonight than
this morning)....

I will certainly publicly shame 'Committers' that do not take action promptly.

To motivate the lagers and procrastinators, I may even turn off google
openid in gerrit earlier than the deadline, to flush them out before
goggle service actually turn off.
