Lets calm down a little. :-) There are 3 reasons why I called for the short notice of shutdown: 1) gazetteer's data hasn't been updated for over 2 years. Internally it has been considered to be deprecated. Likely we should have announced this earlier. Oh well. 2) When I checked the usage recently it was extremely low. I wasn't aware Marble used gazetteer. Marble does not provide a User-Agent when querying gazetteer. If it had, I would have been less eager. 3) We have other services that are waiting for hardware. Mistakes have been made... now lets move on. I'm going to have a hack at creating a namefinder/gazetteer -> nominatim bridge script.
