    Yeah - I agree that’s how it should work. I just can’t think of a way to legally enforce that.

    For example, you’d need to prove you saw the notification, then verify its legitimate (this can be complicated), publish a revision (what qualifies as timely?), then perhaps even publish a notification that there’s a revision.

    Meanwhile, people have been operating without the revision for some amount of time, and IMO should expect that their current version might not be totally accurate anyway.

    In the current framework, as soon as you publish a map, it’s out of date anyway. I don’t see how people can be expected to treat them as an ultimate source of truth on that concept alone.
