Organized mapping is ok mapping. Mapping of landcover has been pretty decent and sensible overall, not a bunch of fanatics, no data destruction. I’ve described current mapping practice for landcover=grass and landcover=trees. It covers most of the usage including the Paraguay mapping project.
It’s a movement, not a conspiracy. It’s growing despite not being rendered.
