Yeah, but it will come from the OSMF, which makes it authoritative. Unlike
every other tool that has been suggested and developed. Since the algorithm
will be so provisional at launch, there should be a parallel data and tile
service set prior to launch and an old data set and tile service post-launch.
Can I get a little clarity here ...
I am assuming that 'undecideds' have until the 1st April to finally make a
decision? Which is an utter pain for me since the main blocks I have left now
are undecides. The 'declines' can simply be dealt with except where they are
wrapped in a large 'undecided' as well.
Personally I would prefer to see anything left as 'undecided' simply switched to
a new user account called 'undecided'. If people have simply disappeared or are
simply not 'declining' just to be difficult, then they had their opportunity to
decline and didn't? So we just accept that work as clean.
We do need a clear statement on what WILL happen on the 1st April? but if that
is switch off day, then the 'decide by' day NEEDS to be earlier! If we are NOW
simply classifying 'undecided' as 'declined' which does seem to be the
recommendation, then what is the point of waiting for the outstanding users to
accept, anyway?
