Little curious to hear how this goes for everyone. R2's promise of infinite egress feels huge. But there's some grumbles in HN threads here & there that folks tend to get forced into more expensive contracts after they actually start using R2. Folks downloading ~90GB data sets daily sounds… taxing.
It sounds like OSM themselves offer diffs? I assume there's something about the format of the diffs, something to do with indexing, that makes full daily refreshes compelling? I don't quite understand the excitement for this release; I'm not well versed here & it feels like I'm missing some key technical reasons why this would be popular.

The challenge tho is running it over years reliably especially if something in upstream OSM breaks.
I initially thought it was Planet serving up a research grade data cache, which would really help unlock innovation in the earth observation space.
