On the other hand, we may be very fast when something changes, very flexible in emergencies (think Haiti), and have interesting niche data that commercial and public data providers don’t care for. It all depends on the local community in the end. If you have reached a critical mass to have locals everywhere, it will work great and bugs will wash out. Otherwise the data might get stale just like any other data. Also using the data is essential to find the problems, for example the 212 story garage is likely fixed now ;-) I tend to agree with Steve A.
