I would love to see these routes in OSM, and I think it's a shame that there is such an ongoing fuss about it. I really do appreciate the on-the-ground verifiability rule, but given that even 'approved' imports like the NYC buildings most likely don't fully adhere to that rule, given that it's such a relatively small amount of data that would not even be visible on the osm.org tiles, and given the time and positive energy invested into this by Steve, I feel there is something else going on that ticks people off about this particular proposal. I would love to hear what that is, because I do want to understand why this is such a big ongoing issue.
