If the conclusion is that there's no point importing OS VMD water features
into OSM...
Would it make more sense to extract the water features and convert them
into a standalone osm.pbf, so they can be used as-is to make a background
layer (warts-and-all)?

Have any large scale imports from this dataset already been done?
Do people think this is a good idea? Any suggestions regarding
the
process?
As others said it is quite a bit of work. I've done the Tendring
district of Essex. The Vectormap data includes some water areas
which are now dry,

This is one where it is certainly possible to import the data, but to
do it manually is going to be a huge amount of effort, and I wonder
if it is really worth the effort?
I think it is, yes. If I may be so immodest to repeat myself from the IRC
quotes page on the wiki:

A long-standing contributor has mapped many footpaths in
Hampshire already but has not signed up to the CTs. Naturally
I'm keen not to see all his hard work lost, and TBH, while I'm
licence-neutral, I've got better things

Google have finally done it: they've switched from TeleAtlas to Google

Anyone know what that means for routing? There's a bad route near my
house which fools people often, like the Sainsburys delivery man. I
submitted a correction

OK. I get the impression that if he PDs his edits then they can be
carried through; can you confirm this is the case?
Any data (whether OSM edits* or a third-party source) that are declared
to be public domain, i.e. free of rights, can indeed be included in
OSM post-1st

What do other people think? If there's a strong view not to have these

I think it would be best to have the information somewhere, in a
consistent form
I try to add the rivers streams when I can, but it always takes a lot of
work.
Previously didn't agree with adding straight from OS Vectormap without
fixing all of it's peculiarities, and was unhappy with a lot of woodland
added. But, I coming round to thinking OSM is about incremental

Original release of Vectormap had more detailed water features, but this
years release appears to have been dumbed down. If you got them I'd use
the first detailed release of water features.
Does anyone know where copies of the original release are
