This belongs back on talk with a new header. OSM states that it is a free map, free to edit and free to use Whether the database should contain imported stuff, traced stuff, or only personally surveyed stuff is a very big issue and any intent now to alter the basic rules of inputting should be back on Talk.
Imported data is dead data - there's no one that feels responsible for it. Imports can kill community and give "newcomers" the feeling that there's nothing more to be done. Imports *can* help osm but they can also *hurt* osm, because osm is about people, not data.
