No. The end result is that the geodatabase – the product that we fundamentally provide to the world as a public good – is still damaged.
OSM isn’t a hobby project anymore, it’s a serious and valuable asset that powers apps and services that people rely on. It’s also seen as a source of geo-truth and is in some cases in conflict with the preferences of governments in less free parts of the world. So there’s plenty of potential future conflict by people with more of an axe to grind than “mad at Andy”.
These kinds of garden variety trolls by themselves aren’t that interesting. What concerns me is how they highlight that a malicious actor can spend a small amount of their time to waste a large amount of time from others in cleaning up after them. It’s a huge power imbalance and it’s one that’s ripe to be exploited.
