Dirk - You are doing great work - i just tell you that changing a default
may have huge impact on peoples workflow and this has bitten at least me
and 3 collegues in my office who stopped adding addresses and updated
josm every day to check whether bug was fixed.

See above - My collegues have simply stopped adding addresses or in one
case started with ctrl-c ctrl-shift-v on the building outlines. All of
them said josm was broken in respect to address templating. My guess is
that seeing no complain does not mean everythings okay ...

Please check mailinglist archives. I guess i am in the top 5 people donating
server space in the past, coding (not necessarily on josm because i
dislike java) etc. I stopped with server hosting because my employee closed
this facility but thats a different story.

Ausstieg in zehn Jahren, wie noch unter der rot-grünen Regierung
beschlossen, kommt für die nationale Energieversorgung zu abrupt.“
