Things are starting to get messy. The original user has been reverting
many changes (which is good) but some apparently got missed, and another
user (FvGordon) has started patching up the admin boundaries at least.
Not sure what source they use to fill in the gaps in the boundaries
though. Also, other relations may have been affected and they will now
be broken unless FvGordon fixes them all as well.
I spend a lot of time maintaining the admin boundaries and it is very
disheartening to see so much damage and extra work being caused in this
way.
