President Donald Trump just said during his inauguration that he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Aside from the political aspects, how does that even work? How does OSM choose a source for that? I’m curious! Also, somebody executed what I thought while I wrote this post:

What specifically do you think that OSM maintainers should be doing to stop this instead of maintaining OSM?
Also coup has a p.
