<pre wrap="">The last functional addition to the editing API was just over a year
ago, in March 2018.
Implying for rhetorical purposes that "nothing has changed" is rather
disingenuous.

<pre wrap="">This attitude: “to do well we would need people responsible and there isn’t any; you can do your thing without OSM infrastructure so why bother; nobody died, stop your hype and comply” — is why we’re still with API 0.6 ten years after it was introduced.

It was deleted 7 years ago. And this is a disaster. The page was an

some more information on how our current API was rolled out. Nothing is
left.

otherwise harmful pages? Deleting our history is plain vandalism, no better

<pre wrap="">No, we aren't. But we are pressed for time and human attention. Of we
had curators who keep important things organized and findable we could
keep things forever. But as it is, all the obsolete crap keeps us from
finding and working with what we need now.

<pre wrap="">Not the gods but some good people who had a good idea. Let them do their
job and keep the history and lets do our job and keep the momentum in
the project instead of spending our time looking back.
