> iD's position was earned. I was there, as we worked through months of community process and testing and adjustments to acquire the near-impossible consensus that the OpenStreetMap community desired. Saying that it replaced P2 "in due course" and now has a "privileged position" forgets that the community, not us, made the decision and pressed that 'merge PR' button.

I don't believe I said anything else, particularly given that I was one of the people most strongly lobbying for iD to become the default editor at the time (the rationale was not quite as you put it but that doesn't matter).

And that there is no misunderstanding: nobody is proposing changing that,
