I'm not sure if this is a good idea because of the license change, for
two reasons:

The AGPL is incompatible with the GPL, version 2, which forces quite a
few programs to upgrade (APT, for instance).

Many reverse dependencies exposing network interfaces currently do not
support retrieving their source code, which means that patching them
and staying in compliance with the AGPL can be quite difficult,
significantly reducing user freedom.
