Folks, I was being a bit tongue in cheek, obviously the point didn't get
across. I apologize and re-state:

For many legal and marketing reasons providing attribution to "OSM" is
not something that is likely ever going to be supported or recommended
by the OSMF as sufficient.

This is nothing new and has nothing to do with the proposed guideline
outside of reducing the options.
