<pre wrap="">xapi endpoint is the only service that is blocked right now. That's due
to one particular mobile app firing off excessive amounts of queries.
Details are also known to the OSMF board.</pre>

There's been questions about this and I want to clarify that<br>
<br>
- Overpass runs on FOSSGIS Germany hardware, not OSMF hardware<br>
<br>
- The OSMF board is not involved and has not been sent any details,
nor do we need to be involved<br>
<br>
Even if it were on OSMF hardware, scrapers and badly behaving apps
are an sysadmin/ops issue and not one the board would normally need
to get involved with.<br>
