To me this is just another way of colonisation, forcing (technical) systems upon other people who have no say in them. They are communicated as a means to help people, but are mainly to make a buck in the end.
Instead we at OSM should leave it up to the people themselves to choose how to describe their location in a way they feel like, and provide a means to do so based on that. Technology should be designed to support people in their preferred way of life, not to force them to a way of life because that’s what most easily is implemented in technology. Cheers, dikkeknodel
