I agree with Stevan Harnad's message where the following statement was
included:

(3) if funders and institutions simply "leave it to us" [publishers] to
manage a "gradual transition" (certainly not a "flip." which publishers
know full well would be highly unstable and impermanent, and would
quickly transform into a "flop" because of institutional, funder and
national defections)

Imagine, back in 1475 or so, a bunch of scriptoria saying: leave this
move to print to us... And then imagine the result!

:-)

"Kind regards"
