What's protecting the map here? What's to stop a prolific contributor from taking their ball and going home, to the overall detriment of the map? To be clear, this *is not something I am going to to*. For the sake of playing Devil's advocate, what is to stop me from, after nearly a decade, taking my data and going home? This would leave a roughly 400 kilometer wide hole centered in Tulsa, some serious breakage in metro Portland and thousands of pockmarks around the world. If I were to pull out and take my data with me, it would swiss cheese the map.
