hello,zero tolerance on X implies X is bad,
which sounds ridiculous after all the huge imports already done.
This thread totally backfired...
also, how do you distinguish an 'import' from a long JOSM tracing session? I
think the concept 'import' is artificial and useless. We don't have imports, we
have big and small contributions. All data -surveyed by the person who uploads
them or not- have errors and need maintenance. The important things are:
respect the license terms, do not destroy data, do not upload irrelevant data,
use tags reasonably.
