How did you go about excluding the 5% that were copied from other maps? You do know that importing this has totally corrupted any claim OSM might have on being completely clean data? Further, what possibly motivated you to import this over reykjavik? We now have a great big pile of vomit, with no real known source or age, whose only real qualification is that a bunch of Germans made it before OSM existed. Good for them. While this surely has some very positive outcomes in unmapped areas, in other areas we now just have a mess that someone has to go out and _resurvey_ just to try and work out which one is right. Further, large chunks of the OFP import in reykjavik isn't even _semantically_ correct, let alone geographically correct. Roads that overlay, but don't intersect, Roads drawn as straight lines, which may have been straight on original city plans, but clearly are not when you stand on the street, roads or connections that don't exist anymore. In some other parts of the country, this was _possibly_ a good idea, but I'm sorry, I really think this was a bad idea to import the whole lot. I'm particularly concerned with the 5% with bad sources.
