I considered it - then I looked at the math and guessed that there were unlikely to be a million craft mappers, in Canada or abroad, who would each craft a 2x3 km bit of wilderness, if only a messy import wasn't in the way. If a thousand - about 5-10% of the weekly active worldwide OSM mappers - each mapped 2x3 km each weekend, it would only take 19 years. So frankly it doesn't seem to me very likely to be a deciding factor. But it certainly is _a_ factor. > Anyway - lets not loose track of the subject here.

Absolutely. Let's let the Swedish contributors speak.
