This may be true when we are the best available source of Free data for a 
country, but there is the potential for a massive brain-drain on OSM in the UK 
now that OS have released their data. We stand to lose a lot of participants 
who are just interested in the source that has the best data available to them 
for their licensing requirements. If we don't import a lot of OS, that source 
will be OS.

We need to become a superset of what OS can offer (for Free) if we are to 
remain relevant to anyone other than us Freedom 'nuts'.

But of course I agree that this should not be rushed.
