We will be happy to switch to OSM when it provide the features and comprehensive data needed to map the users and teams from the planet Earth. OSM's inaccurate/incompleteness of data is crucial issue, Launchpad developers for example, cannot be mapped well because we come from all over the world.

Supporting alternate implemations is expensive, and somewhat risky. Bugs are introduced when an adapter or facade is needed to make two implementation coexist. Moreover, users file bugs when one implementation is not as good an another.

We do want to use OSM because it is easier to integrate into Launchpad. We will be re-evaluating OSM several times a year to judge if it is ready for integration.
