A reminder of how things work in OSM - we don't get to demand things.
We especially don't get to demand, say, a bug fix, without identifying
a bug. What we do is to work with other members of the community
towards a common goal. Some of us even put personal effort into doing
this. None of the effect that you have identified sound surprising in
the context of the redaction process and we have known for more than a
year that this kind of thing could happen. A shame? Certainly. The
solution is also known. And yes, it involves work.
