In my interpretation in this case I would have some reasonable time to
comply, i.e.
I don't have to publish all 0days on my site if I run AGPL-covered software.

Hmm, as a Debian user I'm used to respecting the license of any
software being it BSD, GPL or AGPL...

This reasoning could have been brought up in the context of
relicensing previously BSD licensed software under GPL, and I think it
would have been invalid in that case, too.
