Yeah you are being quite dramatic aren't you? Really struggling to understand what your point is. You talk about "giving notice" and oh my goodness! areas of the data are being redacted!  ....err  ...This is new to you?

There is also http://blog.osmfoundation.org/ where the communication working group are putting out the important updates. Thanks for forwarding to the talk list ...I guess. Personally I would've waited till we had a more significant update. But maybe you're right. Maybe we should post all such updates to talk too. In CWG we thought it would be good to try to bring some updates like this, by working with the very busy folks who are doing the actual coding/testing, even if the update is just "technical work is proceeding. nothing happening on live just yet"
