I don't understand this. I live in an area with a lot of imports (dot/massgis roads, massgis library/school/etc., massgis open space, plus GNIS). While the massgis data sets are generally very high quality, there are some things wrong. I have felt entirely free to fix this data - and no one in the osm community has ever suggested otherwise. When I was really new I asked Christopher about the etiquette of changing data from others without asking, but got back a very quick encouragement to fix anything I knew was wrong. If the problem is that these people aren't sure whether the current data is wrong, hesitation is warranted, but that's not about whether the data is from imports. If you have more insight, I think that would be helpful.
