does this mean that the Park Service will be replacing the data in OSM with
their data, or that in the future the "Park Tiles" will be generated from
the "Places System"? I heard someone associated with the Park Service
recently state "we are going to push our data into OSM and lock it down."
Although this doesn't make any sense (I don't think there is any technical
means to "lock down" any data in OSM, and if there were, I don't think the
community would stand for it), it did concern me greatly.
