Well only if David Sheldon is right and more "extraneous" data will show OSM 
down further, and if people put it in anyway for a lack of related projects 
for things like bus routes, etc.

I'm just grateful for everything people have made so far, and I'm happy to 
keep extraneous data on my hard drive until someone does a funky mashup :D 
I'm just thinking realistically about how things might evolve...

Regards,
Tom
