I've seen multiple countries do exactly that, then quietly drop it after a few years. If it doesn't look serious that doesn't actually help negotiate.

I generally consider myself well read when it comes to Linux, Europe and governments, and I can't recall a single country that announced a country-wide requirement to produce a report for how to move to Linux, deadline ~6 months, what countries are you thinking about here?

I know in France, Germany and Spain have had a lot of local efforts through the years, but never at this sort of scope, so really interested what exactly you're talking about here.
