Personally, I think that is a nice idea - and hopefully someone in their family may be feeling generous this Christmas and gift some of those last Freesat SD viewers a T2 HD STB!
I wonder if the rest of the period up until the 9th of January will be a return to as-now, before possibly a cut over to a full-screen caption for a bit after the 9th once the services have closed.
If the BBC only have one caption generator, that won’t be a problem if they link the various SD EPG slots to a single stream with a full-screen generic BBC caption. That way, people who don’t watch BBC One will also notice the caption.
They may decide that’s too much effort though.
