I sincerely hope that the import is done properly, while keeping the existing tagging. I know this is the intention of the people behind the import, and can only hope that the participants will honor this methodology. I just noticed that a mapper has been removing old hand drawn buildings with improved versions based on GRB, but as a first step he just deleted all old buildings, without looking at additional tags. Those are now gone. I wonder how many data he has removed in this process.
