And it still does! I was going a bit slower today in order not to overload the API. Thank you everyone for letting the revert run its course without intervening further. Due to the fact that I hadn't spotted the full extent of the import initially and missed out some bits, I have to use a slightly different procedure than usual which may in some areas lead to - temporarily - orphaned nodes where a building way has been deleted and the nodes still stand; but the nodes are going to go away eventually and I'll take care not to leave anything behind. A few smaller import changesets had a lot of "normal" edits mixed in with the import, and I manually excluded these changesets from the revert; this means that a few imported buildings will also remain standing but I'd rather err on the side of caution. I saw that there have been heated discussions in some changeset comments about "deleting all our work" - rest assured I'm only reverting a bad import that goes back about two weeks at most. Should I accidentally delete something that was not part of the import, we'll get it back after the dust has settled. I have no grudge with the people who have imported the data; I revert something because the process was wrong, not because I dislike the contributor. A large number of objects has been uploaded in these past two weeks. If I can recommend something for future imports, try to do them in smaller chunks and take your time. Don't pack 50k nodes in a changeset and upload several of them per day. If you spread things out over a couple weeks or months, you'll put less strain on the API and ensure that *if* something turns out problematic (which can happen even if following the import rules to the letter!) you're not suddenly looking at a revert that goes full throttle for several days. I'll post updates about the revert as necessary.
