Hi
Didn't know about your JOSM overlay - just added and it looks great.

I would not like to see that happen. OSM maps real objects, postcodes
are not real and only apply as a part of an object's address. They
apply to buildings (delivery points on buildings really). The
postcodes in Codepoint Open are centroids derived from a combination
of all the delivery points that share the postcode so are not at all
real-world objects.
If you want to apply postcodes to addresses you can see the map
overlay I have produced which you can use in editors as an overlay:
https://codepoint.raggedred.net/ I will update it again shortly. You
can also derive postcodes from other open data sources such as FHRS
data.

Hi,
I'm wondering if it would be feasible and advisable to import the UK
postcode data from OS OpenData Codepoint
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_OpenData#Code-Point_Open>.
The licence is OSM compatible. My thinking was that we could create
a node for each data point and set the addr:postcode tag. This would
be useful for routing software like OsmAnd, since it would allow a
user to enter a postcode as a destination.
I'm happy to do the work, but the import guidelines
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines> say that
imports should be discussed on the imports@ list and the appropriate
local communities, hence this email.
