Should iNat obscure birds hidden/not hidden in eBird?

I would argue this is conflating the issue of whether a given species should be obscured at all with the issue of whether descendant places should inherit the geoprivacy setting of their ancestor place. Aoudad is already set to Open for the United States, it’s just that the globally obscured setting is overriding the country-level open status.

More discussion here.
