<p>Timescale: I would expect if there are any changes they are likely to happen by mid next year (GPDR introduction) .</p>
<p>Not saying that there will be drastic change, just that there has been a wide range of proposals from completely stripping all information that allows association with specific individuals from the data we provide publicly (changesets, uid, display_names, timestamps and so on), to doing nothing at all.</p>
<p>The LWG has funds allocated for investigating the legal obligations side of things, which is a bit independent of what <a href="https://github.com/woodpeck" class="user-mention">@woodpeck</a> has been doing (which goes back iirc to a BoF at this years FOSSGIS conference). I've asked him to comment directly.</p>
<p>In the end however my point was just that it is simply far easier to control information we supply via an API, than data that we provide as dumps.</p>
