I've already been asked to sign a "Save BBC Four petition" but I won't sign it.
BBC Four has stopped producing original output and the only time I see people discussing the channel is when an archive TOTP is on. Unlike BBC Three which really had to come back to bring down the age of viewers using PSB content, TOTP and the other archive shows would find a better home on iPlayer.
CBBC is a difficult one, their demo is the most tech savvy audience of all BBC linear services, but I'd agree that a linear slot on BBC Two when it's full of padding would be a better use of airtime than what BBC Two is currently showing outside of Politics Live. It also ensure Newsround would still have a linear slot.
