Discussion is already underway on the Dev list.

My main message right now would be "don't panic."   The news is VERY 
fresh today and mechanations are already underway, but it's really early 
to have definite answers at the moment.

As you say, 2021 isn't far away, but there's a bit of time to get things 
worked out, and insofar as it impacts the BlueOnyx world, you'll see it 
here.
