The current rules dont seem to be causing a problem to anyone.
At least no complaints are being posted.

The "proof" normally provided is in the form of postings of map extracts showing areas of interest and maybe a start on processing SRTM data or a start on map_c

Anyone wanting to get involved in map making needs to go through these steps anyway, so is there really a problem?

Maybe a recent new starter could comment?
