Dear Irish community,

Most of you know in one form or another about the licence change. Many
of you also know that the data redaction was to take place in April.
It has of course taken quite a bit longer, but a lot of care has been
taken and we now have a good toolset that has been tested against a
real data set on a test API server. That test data set was Ireland, as
it happens.

Since the test ran satisfactorily, it is now planned to start the real
redaction - that is, to begin the process of identifying
non-ODbL-compatible data and:

a) Removing it from the data set. In Ireland, this will not entail the
loss of very much data

b) Making any non-compliant data from old versions unobtainable

This real redaction will start with Ireland and may commence as soon
as tomorrow. So if you see some unusual map changes, this may be the
cause.

Any discussion welcomed here or on IRC.

Thanks,
Dermot
