Don't know if you can really make a hard cut, saying what is an "import"
and what not. Or to make it more clear:
What is the difference between a good import of some data that is 10
years old and a mapper that is drawing areas based on some
landsat-imagery (which is as far as i know from 2003)? Both do add loads
of data from a foreign source.
I don't think that old or imported data is a problem, as long as the
import-quality is okay. (e.g. do not import data that we already have
(street on an street)).

For the simple reason that there is not only one rendering of /the/
OpenStreetMap map.
I can see the point in this, but I'd rather prefer an openimportmap
with a separate database, where you can upload all kind of rubbish and
keep the main OSM-db as clean as possible from imports. There are
actually a lot of mappers that go out and collect "unique"
geoinformation manually, and I think that this is the key feature of
OSM.
