As suspected, there's been a last minute change (on Tuesday) and the merger for Kallnach is "official" now and has an affective date of 1.1.2019.

I've made the change in the list, and will upload the document post-Christmas.

Yes, a new year is approaching with alarming speed, as every year since
we imported the municipal administrative boundaries we will update them
on the 1.1. or soon after. I've prepared (again as always) a list to
facilitate splitting the work up: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/2019_Municipality_Mergers

Notes:

  * the list was based on information from the BfS from September 20th,
    it has been known (in 2017 for example)  for a last minute update to
    turn up
  * what exactly is happening in Kallnach seems to be unclear, does
    anybody local know? Otherwise I suspect that there will be a last
    minute update, see above :-)

My reading from above mentioned PDF (link below) is, that there is no
municipal merger Kallnach with Golaten by 1.1.2019. The merger is "In
Abklärung", what translates somehow like in clarification of how it
might work, pro's and con's, etc., what means, that no deal so far.

As well the website of Kallnach (http://www.kallnach.ch/) doesn't say
anything about.


In Wikipedia: Im Kanton Bern sind folgende Fusionsvorhaben am Laufen:
    * https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeindefusionen_in_der_Schweiz#Bern_3
    Amtliches Gemeindeverzeichnis der Schweiz - Angekündigte Änderungen
    2018 - Ausgabe vom 20.09.2018 (ersetzt Ausgabe vom 14.06.2018)
        * https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/6166612/master
          Seite 2:
          BE  304 Kallnach
              664 Golaten  -> Kalnach  Status: In Abklärung
                                       Gültig: ab 1.1.2019

Thus, very likely, there is no action needed by OSM in terms of Kallnach
and Golaten.

If there would be an other decision, local media (e.g. BZ or Bund) will
communicate it.

cheeers, h.

  * the number of changes is very low this year, please do not commit
    any changes before the 1st of January, the work can easily be done
    in an hour.
