You are causing potentially a lot of compatibility issues for people around the globe
Not really. We've done this several times before, and the compatibility issues were negligible.
Could you explain *exactly* how people in Africa (for example) are disadvantaged by having pre-1970 data for Oslo and Berlin?
How exactly are their lives made worse?
Do I really have to explain this? If we give COVID-19 shots to people in San Francisco but not Los Angeles, purely for reasons unrelated to public health, we are being unfair even though Los Angelenos' lives will be not be made worse - they will die off at the same rate as before. (Sorry about the gruesome analogy. I just spent the first day back teaching classes at UCLA - in person for the first time since March 2020, yay! - and COVID-19 measures are on everybody's minds.)
