My rule about deletions has always been straightforward, that's it's no problem providing deleted pages only throw up a standard error 404 message from the server. Anything else - to my checking software at least - is identified as a redirect and it is therefore banned. Turning off the checking software, even for a few days, would be an open invitation to be screwed.
The bigger problem is more likely to be changes people want to make because their existing galleries cannot be made compliant. It's bad enough to consider hand-checking each changed gallery to decide whether or not the change was innocent. But to really make it work, the descriptions would need to be re-written and/or the linking thumbnails changed. That could be a huge task and right now my inclination is to say no, delete those galleries and submit new ones.
