As the person who arranged the NaPTAN data supply for OSM - which Ito then managed in a technical sense - I can confirm that it will remain possible for OSM to take occasional downloads of data for NaPTAN. Whether you want to do so through data.gov.uk where they appear to have taken a snapshot of complete national data in a single file (I was not aware of how often they proposed to update that source), or from the NaPTAN download site which is updated daily and from which local files can be obtained separately, is a matter of OSM community's choice. Both options are available.

The dumps that OSM has imported (and still is slowly importing, when I get around to it), were provided directly by the DfT via their NaPTAN download site, which always contains the current dataset (I believe updated at least daily). I will continue to import the dataset that is dated as 1st August 2009 22:21:35, so that we have a consistent set of data across the whole of the UK. Future update processes will be designed in such a way to replace data that has not been touched by OSM users, and flag possible conflicts between OSM and any NaPTAN changes for human review.
