I had a long diatribe here as a response that I thought better of, but I really did want to point out that the remote part of missing maps has never addressed the core OSM contributors at all. I don't think, even with giving everybody a lot of slack, that it can be seen as anything else than a marketing activity of the involved organisations in which the net result is not of any real concern. And I don't think shifting the blame for the above to the journalists is in any way fair. Simon
