Yes, the operator tags are the same when it is the same institution - the colleges are independent institutions, part of the larger federation. This is part of the complexity of this.
I'm not arguing I don't want to change anything, just that there's too much gratuitous change which breaks real, existing products because of hypothetical futures.The wiki analogy is wrong here I think - that's the content. It's much more an API, as I think you were essentially agreeing, and people go to great lengths to try to maintain backward compatibility, only deprecating things when they absolutely have to. And it's not so much me not wanting to change things, of course change happens, it's random, arbitrary, incompatible change that is such a problem to deal with. Dan's not arguing for that, and I've already said I'll look at it and see what's involved. But not today!
