Don't be so harsh. Given that

www.osm.org -> www.openstreetmap.org,
wiki.osm.org -> wiki.openstreetmap.org
forum.osm.org -> forum.openstreetmap.org
planet.osm.org -> planet.openstreetmap.org

then it's *not* unreasonable to suspect that the foundation.osm.org
should work, whether or not it has ever been used before.

Since we don't actually publish a list of "these are all the domains
that work, please don't use any other ones", there's also no point in
jumping on someone for not having read said non-existent list.

That's hardly the same, and you know it.

If it's something that would have value, but that you don't want to do
yourself, we can open a ticket on the chef issue tracker and point
people towards it.
