[talk-au] AARnet tile cache decomissioning

[stevea]

Graeme, thanks for asking, but I'm not an expert in this.  I think it best if you ask Brian directly how it all goes.  He can likely offer great perspective on how "multiple prisms reflect many colors of light" when doing such things; Americana is awesome, and has many moving parts.  I couldn't even begin to describe them all, as I am in awe of them and how intricate are all the moving parts.  Minh, Brian, many others can better answer.  But it is topical, as "you can't really have too many conduits of communications" going on, ESPECIALLY in "early days."  And OSM (-au, -us...) still feel "kinda young."

It would be good to understand at least - put some evidence behind "It'd be good if we...". Maybe a local server has no impact? Either way, finding out might be useful...
