This goal does not appear to have been carried out.

The iD project comes off as tone deaf to breaking data concerns: Look at
the uproar over issues of "breaking data".  Look at the core team response,
which is mostly defensive posturing, not oriented to solutions.

Why has iD taken such a beating on the mailing list "breaking data"
issues?  I don't think it's just anti-iD bias.
