@woodpeck _since you mentioned alternative names_. Project name OpenStreetMap isn't good when it comes to describing what we do, I would prefer "Open Planet" or similar; without using "map" or "street": not because they discriminate anyone but because they are _meaningless_.

Subway networks in Moscow neither about "map" nor "street" so as thousands tags not about "streets". Same about OpenSeaMap and OpenRailMap projects. 

Personally I don't care that this name is in use for 10 years, I would happily switch away from it.
