Hi,

It is probably wishful thinking to hope that they will go away. But one 
thing we could do to limit damage is to have something like "layering" 
in the OSM data base; not thematic layering like in traditional GIS, but 
source layering. Stuff that gets imported gets onto a layer of its own, 
and then it can be transferred to "OSM proper" by a click of a button 
somewhere in an editor.

Continuing that line of thought, every user could have his (or any 
number of) own layers where he could "work on stuff". - Of course, lots 
of technical issues especially if what you're importing is somehow 
connected to what's already there.

Bye
Frederik
