Sounds similar to the refusals to make the website more mobile friendly to me. Just like in that case, there's no reason why you can't walk and chew bubble by implementing OLC for people who want it. While at the same time having the site still appeal to users who "care about OpenStreetMap" are know about its "purpose" or are its "target audience" (whatever those things mean). 

The same arguments could have made for implementing the ability to search for addresses on the same site. The maintainers are just choosing to be stubborn about it, just because they don't see anything "useful" about it isn't an excuse to not implement it and it doesn't mean its not useful. Otherwise, Google and OsmAnd must have implemented it because they had nothing better to do with their time and didn't know jack about their audiences. 

@woodpeck, ff you don't think something should be implemented, fine. Don't put it on other people for requesting a feature though. Especially with the useless attacks. Its unnecessarily hostile. You don't know jack about their motivations and the only "target audience" for OSM is whoever wants to contribute.  

@tomhughes, I see you don't have a code of conduct in your main directory. You really should. So unproductive, judgmental comments like @woodpeck's either won't occur in the first place or be called out when spotted by people with authority. However you want to run your Github, its still ultimately a community project. So there should still be a basic level of acceptable discourse everyone should follow here, which should be made explicit. It is everywhere else that's related to OSM and it should be here also.
