24819	"OSM is removing ""Public""/""Private"" GPS trace visibility levels"	Rub21	team	"Hi, opening this as a heads up, not a bug report.

OpenStreetMap is planning to drop the old ""Public"" and ""Private"" visibility levels for GPS traces and keep only ""Trackable"" and ""Identifiable"". The old levels are unintuitive or misleading, and they add performance issues on the website.

The DirectUpload plugin uploads GPX traces to OSM, and its visibility dropdown in UploadDataGui.java still offers ""Public"" and ""Private"". Once the change lands, uploading a trace with those two values will be rejected by the API with a 400 Bad Request. I wanted to flag it early so you can check if anything needs an update.

More details and reasoning are in the forum thread:
