it is OK if the local mapping community agrees to that and finds the
imported data useful, suitable, accurate and up to date. If there is
no local community to maintain that data it might be better not to
import it.
To get a better general impression what many people think about
imports and their impact on the project and on the community, see the
panel discussion that took place some weeks ago at SOTM-EU in Vienna:
