"current" ? Is it a joke ?

I've started integrating buildings from the French cadastre more thant 
one year ago. I had read the guidelines long before, when a second 
account was a recommandation. And talking with the French community, I 
agreed with the fact that it did not applyed in this case... so I 
starded uploading buildings...

I've never heard any announce about changes, nor discussions about 
possible changes, nor... in the guidelines. And I'm not so skillfull in 
English to go often on this page and re-read it if not necessary. And I 
think I'm not the only one on the Earth.

So I am integrating buildings from Cadastre for years... Long before the 
guidelines were changed... Maybe I should be bloked...

Now that I (and not only me) know that the guidelines are subjects of 
arbitrary changes without a wide announce, I would read this page each 
time before i'm importing a postbox from opendata ?

Tell me it's a joke !
