Hi
I see this as a global issue, not restricted to the UK. I could (&
probably should) have posted originally in the main Talk forum.
There is only one database, I don't see it's within OSM UK's authority
to make fundamental changes to it.
As I noted previously, many discussions have been had & a decision made.
Cheers

I've not participated in this debate because I have no strong views
either way and no specialist knowledge to contribute. However I don't
think a decision has been reached here as there are roughly equal
numbers for and against and those "just commenting" from a thread
population of 17 - hardly representative of the UK OSM community.
I'd like to develp Colin's emphasis on process on how we can arrive at
a decision and what follows from that decision and ifany of you see a
role for the UK Chapter in all of this
We can have a Loomio vote but I would suggest we set a minimum number
of voters for it to be seen as representing the UK community. Might I
suggest 60? I think that's roughly the number of users editing the
map daily.
If the vote is for retaining historic boundaries then we need a
volunteer (before the vote!) to document the wiki, taking on board
Frederik's comments
If the vote is for not having them then I suggest a two stage process:
1. All new edits get reverted
2. A plan is drawn up for retaining all the current data by migrating
it to OHM and then deleting it from OSM. That respects all the hard
work by Sean. Again identified before the vote takes place! (Might I
suggest that those complaining loudest consider stepping forward to do
this?)
If we can't get volunteers for these processes then I suggest a vote
is not worthwhile
Regards
Brian

OSM users can easily remove stuff in there pre filtering of OSM
data. So
it is not an issue for them.
