To the contrary, this whole conversation started because we received
multiple complaints about this area from mappers who wanted to create
data in this area but couldn't because of too much data. In that
sense, this data is already handicapping the usefulness of OSM because
it's deterring mappers from adding data to the area.
That's a tooling problem, not a data problem.
As an aside, parcel data is completely verifiable. Yes, it's a terrible
pain in the butt, but it is perfectly possible to look up land records
and survey the points or do it using a map. I've occasionally thought it
would be nice to have a plugin for JOSM that could turn a metes and
bounds description into a polygon.
