I have contacted the user that is about/has deleted some changesets imported from Canvec. I may agree on some of his comments but totally disagree on the method he is using to make his point.
I do not know what the DWG will do about this guy but here is the message I sent him... Bonjour Nakaner, I understand that you wish the data in OSM being accurate, well-structured and made according to the rules developed by the OSM community. However, I would strongly suggest that you discuss your point with the Canadian community before deleting any changesets. Canvec imports are running for more than 6 years and the structure of the data was discussed with the Canadian OSM community, including OSMF members, for more than a year. The result is a compromise that used to suit most members. The rules you are mentioning in the comments you leave where not even written at that time. Most Canadian importers simply keep doing what they used to do years ago. If you consider they should not, have a discussion with the whole Canadian community. You will then be able to make your point, make everyone aware of these rules and understand your concerns. You will then be able to build a stronger community, not discourage people to contribute because they have made errors...

Imports are difficult and the time needed to get them right is not a small investment. To have someone review this work is a valuable service, but I don't think just blanket reverting due to the violation of one rule is the solution, especially in context of the lack of data in some of those areas. The CANVEC stuff will do until surveys or satellite data catches up with those areas.
