Why does "imports" mean "not crowdsourced," if the crowd determines which
imports are source-able?
Why doesn't public-domain data that the crowd has funded count as
crowdsourced?

it was probably a good thing...
Low wage? Low Skilled? Do as little as possible? That's not a good

I have been pondering the use of the admin_level
key in the USA, and have come to the realization
that while values 2, 4, 6 and 8 are correct for
national, state, county and city boundaries
(respectively), it is more complicated than that.
It is likely time to end the pretending this
