And there are real people using OSM in many other fields.  What I mean
is that by deciding to drop a (mostly arbitrary) subset of OSM, you're
setting back some or all of those fields either by breaking the
service for those people or by not fixing it in other places so people
can start using it.  All you can do is select a path with least damage
and remote re-mapping is not that path.
