Sam removed that context, then spun this new thread and widened
distribution! Here's some context, Sam thinks uuids are uninteresting
and not useful in imported data. Michael, below, thinks uuids are
useful. Now the rest of the conversation in context.

I also think UUID is important in the case of imported data. It will
ease the update of datasets that we bring in.

Will it? I keep hearing that but don't really believe it. It would be
hard enough merging changes if the data was not converted, has a 1:1
correspondence in geometries and hadn't been editing in the meantime.

While this can indeed happen in many cases, Canada is so huge that I
expect large areas to be left as is, and not have this problem. Even for
densely populated
areas like Vancouver, the rate of changes isn't all that high right now.

Andy,
I suspect it will not help with every single geometry, but I think there
will be plenty of untouched ones though.
Unfortunately I do not have a specific example of a situation where this has
worked, but it seems better than the alternative of not using any UUIDs.
For example importing all o

If you read the thread a bit more, you'll see that I'm exactly for including
UUIDs during import:)
My message you've replied to was trying to address the concern of UUIDs
being mangled during subsequent editing.

Thanks everyone for the comments. :)
I have updated the readme.txt file, and it will be available as included in
each of the .zip files
which contain the source SHP files and the converted .osm files, as well as
the various rules.txt files, compressed as a .zip, as well as the
changelog.txt file.
