Simplify at what cost? There is just 'CT will make our lifes easier'.
Which lives? How easier? And WHAT IS THE COST?

I simply want core people of OSM come forward and say honestly that
they don't know how big impact will be.

And for those who claim that complainers are minority - it's bullshit
and you know it. Rest of mappers don't care because they don't have
such imput done in OSM. Those who complain are usually those who
drives map forward. Without them, OSM is dead as serious map, period.

And this is WHY I'm against fork. ODbL now sounds like good
compromise. But they still want CT to be attached as Trojan horse.

Cheers,
Peter.
