Thanks for the update, Tim, and thanks to everyone who's worked on this! :)
Cristian - in answer to your point, I'm of course aware of the Labs effort, and the plan for next year is to move us towards fully supported production-level infrastructure that can handle much larger amounts of traffic, i.e. for inclusion in the official mobile apps.

Thanks Erik,
Our first hire will likely be focused on scaling our infrastructure to be production ready for
* OSM DB * OSM Tile serving layer
I'm building out the timeline for that as part of the Wikimedia Goal setting so keep tabs on
