If people from outside of Canada have decided that our data is so bad that it needs to be completely wiped out in its entirety, then I guess we're going to have to do something drastic to try to prevent this.
@Michael, Frederik, Paul: would it be good enough for us to wipe out any and all CanVec forest data (or even ALL forest data because some could have been derived from CanVec)? This seems to be the biggest cause for concern. If not, what do you think we need to do to prevent all CanVec data from being wiped out? Wiping out all CanVec data would effectively clear out the majority of the Canadian map and really isn't an option in our minds. Do we need to get rid of all forest data and then go on a cooperative fixing blitz (maybe using MapRoulette or Tasking Manager) to fix every single JOSM validator error across the country? In short, if we're doing things so wrong, what can we do to make things right other than have a German revert all of our changesets so we can start from scratch?

I tried to play around in JOSM to see if I could get the forest polygons to a point where Nakaner would leave us alone by mercilessly deleting all of the inner ways in the forest multipolygons, but because of the way things are structured around rivers that would be several hours worth of work for one tile. Given this perhaps the only solution is to bulk delete all Canvec forest data. As someone who actually finds the forest data useful this would be extremely unfortunate, but if it allows us to continue imports without excessive external scrutiny then I am willing to except it.

There is an offset between the water areas and the forest areas. Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/ way/406539219 Could you please fix this?" I believe the given what we have just spent the last 24 hours discussing this request is unreasonable and the issue is not significant. Thoughts?
