There has been no suggestion that there are plans to wipe out data. The wiki suggests road names should only be added under the following conditions - The bounding box for the road matches the bounding box for the OS Locator entry within 10% - There is only one OS Locator entry that overlaps the road. - Only if the 'name' field is empty or missing - The bounding box is completely within the permitted area of operation. - Only if no road has ever existed in OpenStreetMap history for the area with the same name (to avoid adding back out-of-date names) There is definite room for arguing that it will reduce active mapping in some situations.
