In no particular role, specifically no official OSMF one: Can't we resolve this by moving the logo and potentially other ones to an explicit category: "Fun, parody and other, not totally serious, remixes of the OSM logo, not endorsed by anybody" With a different hat on: it would be really nice i

It's not quite the same thing as uncertainty in the datum itself. Crust movements simply lead to things being somewhere else relative to a global datum (aka they have moved), so a new measurement of the position for the same object would return the correct current position and theoretically if the
