I would be interested by the ratio buldings/non buildings in Germany (your email is German). As I understood, it is acceptable to have 100 Germans tracing 10 buildings from Bing but not 1 lazy French importing 1000 buildings from the Cadastre. Even if the quality is questionable in both cases. > So indeed, I would agree that French contributors do map other details. > Occasionally. Very. Occasionally. Indecent for all contributors editing in France (incl. many foreigners) and not importing buildings.

Now, there is a real problem. It was a time where TIGER data took half of the database (if I remember correctly). Then the ratio declined. It will be the same for French buildings. Germans are also massively adding buildings but by hand (is it not also imported sometimes ?). It's just a matter of time until Germans will exceed the French on this. Will you be happy to read "now the German buildings is a real problem because it takes 1/6th or 1/7th of the planet" ? > It wastes lots of bandwidth and CPU time. Again the same arguments we have seen years ago from those against imports in general. Nothing new. And for data consumers, they can filter by tags or areas if they wish. > If it wasn't for the cadastre imports, we'd still be able to keep the 32bit > id space > for nodes for another year or two, which would save a lot of hard > disk space for a lot of people. The 64 bits transition is done now at the same time as the full re-import due to the relicensing which, I guess, is a good coincidence. > Now please don't let me stop you from continuing to complain about how all > those import rules make your life so much harder. ...hmm, not sure about this sentence ... but I don't think the guidelines have been created with the intention of making our life much harder.
