I am very sympathetic to what I sense to be Jason's (and Michael's and
others') frustrations. It's quite clear there are a *very* large number of
imports that have contributed to the body of data that is OSM (Incomplete
list here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Import).

There sure is a huge amount of imported data in OSM, but I don't see what's
frustrating about distinguishing between useful and not-useful data
imports. What we've been discussing here is what sort of data should be
imported and if it's useful.

The first question is what is appropriate consultation, and that will vary
on a case by case basis with the type of data, complexity of import, type of
object being imported, where it's being imported, existing data, experience
of importer, feedback received, etc.
