What surprises me most about the discussion up to now that it is centered around the impact on the US and Canada were the removals are rather small both relatively and absolute*, actually are more at the nuisance level than anything else, and can easily be added back, likely in a couple of days from sources that are already pre-approved as reference material.
Our concern should be more about Mexico, Brazil and other countries where it is at least not obvious to me if the local communities are aware of the issue and if we have any plan at all how we possibly could mitigate the impact. I know that Brazil has already had multiple such issues in the past, is Wille Marcel on this list? Simon * the redaction a couple of weeks back in Switzerland removed roughly 10% of the names from "residential" streets to but the US and Canadian numbers in to perspective and there is currently no usable other source for the names, and many of them are not surveable. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
