This is a classic osm way of handling something though. They make every smallest disagreement into a giant dramatic deal that needs to be fought to the death. It’s a toxic community that drives out people unwilling to deal with the crap, and that’s a large part of why splits like this happen. No one wants to be on the tagging mailing list because it’s probably full of opinionated curmudgeons just like the rest of the osm mailing lists, and now those same curmudgeons are pissed about being left out of tagging decisions. They’re pushing people away and then complaining when their opinions are no longer centered in the conversation.

Disclaimer: I used to be involved in the mapping space (including osm and Mapbox) and have moved on, despite my love of the work.
