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/2018_Municipality_Mergers
Notes:
* the Canton Neuchâtel is replacing its 6 "districts" with 4 "regions", not quite sure how much work that will be, but it is not that high priority. * I'm not going to be near a proper computer on the 1st and will earliest be able to participate on the 4th
