I would certainly hope that any updates are not used to overwrite existing local edits. I have spent far too many hours checking and updating the data to have a newer version overwrite it. A smart merge would be more useful, I would write it if required.
As too 'dumping in' the remaining county data I would prefer that it is handled locally where possible. The NaPTAN data is useful and good in parts but needs checking and improving too. I think too much data is imported just because it is available - I prefer imports to add value. NaPTAN can add value but that is best realised by someone local to the import managing it.
