those of us who line up with true north could care less,
beam headings won't change and the north star will still
be close enough to true north.

those of you still trying to figure out which direction 
to adjust your magnetic heading can start to figure out
how far true north is from magnetic south!  if course in
the process of shifting there may be a short period when
we have to discuss how to aim beams based on magnetic
east and west poles.
