Richard, Does it make sense to have administrative boundaries in OSM, since it isn't a "crowdsourced editable" data? Or is it? Should we remove the administrative boundaries from OSM? If someone by mistake simple remove or change (even worst) some administrative boundaries, how many days you need to notice and fix them? One week? One month? Definitely, you never invested days and days fixing administrative data. No one is saying that it shouldn't be editable. The Jan Iven's topic makes sense, and the thread should go on, without this kind of "I will categorily not permit". Do you own OSM?
