[OSM-talk] Crimea situation - on the ground

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

I don't want to discuss this issue in detail but the on-the-ground rule
is an important cornerstone of what we do in OSM. If anyone wants to use
the Crimea situation (and any possible exceptions made from the OTG rule
because of it) to get rid of the OTG rule, or if anyone because of
political reasons wants to argue away the OTG rule ("has never existed"
etc.etc.) then I would fiercely oppose that.

Whatever your feelings are regarding Russia and Crimea (I notice that
Tomas hails from a country sandwiched between Russia and a Russian
exclave where being illegally occupied by Russia is a realistic fear,
whereas Martin happily fans the flames from a safe distance of over
2,000km away from the nearest Russian tank) - don't sacrifice the OTG rule.

Bye
Frederik
