Please stop the nonsense.

The update that happens now has been scheduled and announced for the last
4 years, not due to OGN.

However, due to issues caused by OGN (such as tracking privacy) as well as
issues experienced by OGN (such as range ambiguity), the update contains
additional elements, some of which can make the combination-OGN more
powerful, in both technical and legal terms.

We think OGN is largely a cool thing, and we have reasons to believe
OGN+Flarm can fruitfully cooperate, to the benefit of gliding. If some
conditions are met, such as OGN accepts the FlarmTrackingServer for
decoding, and OGN does not engage in an aircraft tracker. And OGN is
learning that not anything goes.

OGN will have a problem without Flarm. Flarm may have a problem without
OGN.. Some know that.

Flarm focussed on the update that was published days ago, and is currently
busy with the related support for 25k+ units spread over 30 hardware
designs. This work is not done when a release is published.

Flarm will refocus on the TrackingServer next week again to make this
happening for OGN.

Let us work, and enjoy gliding.

Thanks Andrea, agree with all that.
