Hmm, it seems that my reply (sent to tagging at openstreetmap.org) never made it onto the ML? I never received a bounce, but it doesn't show up in the archive either :/

My view at that time was that I received zero feedback about my e-mail even after waiting a few days, so I assumed that nobody cares. But if my e-mail was somehow swallowed by an internet black hole, I can understand that the change seemed a bit sudden.

Let's see if this e-mail makes it through, and if yes, I'll send another one replying to Martin's message.
