But if the work of one person surpasses the million-object mark then is that still a small-scale import? How much time does it take to review carefully a million objects? Is it possible that a simple "JOSM did not report anything obvious" takes the place of the careful review? I am pretty sure that above a certain number, a proper quality review is simply not possible, and it is there that imports start.
I KNOW from my own editing that once I have more than a few hundred nodes then I need to commit that change and start a new one. So perhaps what is needed here is some mechanism in the editors to keep the maximum commit down to a certain size? Any 'local import' would be restricted to what is a manageable size once committed? The time warnings should restrict things, but a 'size' limit so that one has to commit once that limit is reached?
