If it's such a big financial burden, and isn't providing any benefit to whoever is incurring the financial burden, then that's even more the reason to take it off the main map. Probably where a lot of people, myself included, are coming from, is that we > *like* OpenCycleMap, we just want to be able to contribute to it, as well. > So start your own project. Andy has every right to do what he wants with his, and he's "explained pretty convincingly" that he doesn't want others coming in and screwing up his work. As I said before, I don't have a problem with that. I completely respect that decision. In fact, I might very well do the same thing if I found myself in the same position. But if that's Andy's decision, then keeping OCM in the main map is just keeping around an unnecessary crutch. It's time to put away the crutch. If OCM isn't going to be open, then it shouldn't be in the main map.
