Was this new/improvement additions or bug/maintenance fix?

The last functional addition to the editing API was just over a year
ago, in March 2018.
Implying for rhetorical purposes that "nothing has changed" is rather
disingenuous.

This attitude: “to do well we would need people responsible and there isn’t
any; you can do your thing without OSM infrastructure so why bother; nobody
died, stop your hype and comply” — is why we’re still with API 0.6 ten years
after it was introduced.

In my research of API 0.6 (which turned ten years old yesterday) I've
stumbled on this page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6/Crowd_sourced_Testing
It was deleted 7 years ago. And this is a disaster. The page was an
important milestone in our history: authors, dates, items on it could bring
some more information on how our current API was rolled out. Nothing is
left.
It was deleted an yet you have found it. So not a huge desaster after
all.
Please, could we have a deletion policy in our wiki that clearly states "No
obsolete pages here", forbidding deletion of anything except spam or
otherwise harmful pages? Deleting our history is plain vandalism, no better
than physically destroying pieces of human history displayed in museums.
Isn't that a bit of hype here...
It's not like we're pressed for disk space there.
No, we aren't. But we are pressed for time and human attention. Of we
had curators who keep important things organized and findable we could
keep things forever. But as it is, all the obsolete crap keeps us from
finding and working with what we need now.
Thank internet gods for the Internet Archive,
Not the gods but some good people who had a good idea. Let them do their
job and keep the history and lets do our job and keep the momentum in
the project instead of spending our time looking back.
