I’m all for debate and coming to a consensus, but my message counter has got to 108 mails in this thread, and I have to say that from where I am sitting it’s all becoming rather tedious. The same arguments (albeit polite) are being rehashed, nothing new is being said, and no-one is showing any sign of changing their mind. We don’t have a consensus, and in any case there are only around 25 people contributing, out of however many UK mappers, which is hardly representative.
I propose that we refer this to the OSM UK Directors and ask them to review the arguments for both sides and come to a firm decision. That’s what we elected them for, after all. Then they publish it, and that is what we all agree to accept, whether it matches our personal views or not. If we don’t, this thread will just rumble on forever and, at worst, we will get into a tit-for-tat set of edits and reversions/deletions, which no-one wants.
