So, this is the transition plan. Is there anywhere where we can find what progress has been made on the plan? As far as I can tell, it is only a plan at the moment?

I also like the idea of a transition plan, but is there anywhere a proposed timeframe, for phasing out the non "post-transition" modes of operation? That is, as an organisation, is there anything that we can do with this now towards our future planning?

For something as widespread as Git, there is no "post-transition", I'm afraid: while maintained code will get migrated, old repositories will hang around Forever.

Note that Git is a protocol - all of its implementations will eventually need to change, and each repo using it as well. This is decentralized by the very purpose of Git.
