First of all - I appreciate the work behind the hardware and software
support in OSMF. That is a huge bonus for me that in general I can focus
on developing default style without special care for the infrastructure
it will run on. Kudos for you all!

I also absolutely don't mean this precise moment. Being system
administrator myself, I can imagine how stressful and complicated that
could be. I just thought that there could be some message after the
solution has been selected and before the move has started. I try to
warn my users beforehand when doing anything that could directly affect
their work or if there's some risk involved. At least that's a Best
Practice TM. :-)

What I wanted to express was just a friendly moniker that OWG/EWG work
is still not visible from my perspective (even if I'm an active member
of OSM community) and that it could help to gain some people this way.
Especially as this aim was explicitly stated by technical team
(precisely I mean
https://blog.gravitystorm.co.uk/2016/07/28/getting-involved-in-owg/ -
BTW the same person that has successfully started and supported OSM
Carto team building!).

It's always hard to set the right priorities how much would one spend on
communicating and finding new people versus doing actual work, but my
experience is that it pays off to risk some evangelizing - now we have a
team of active people in OSM Carto again, but it required putting some
effort into making the style more available without clear outcome what
exactly might work. And we still keep trying - see this fresh announcement:
