There's never any danger of loss of data. Any deleted ways are still there in the database. It's just, Potlatch's undelete-one-by-one feature aside, we don't have a _simple_ way of recovering them - but nonetheless it's possible. The need for area-level revert is known and understood, we just never have enough programmers to do all the funky things that need doing... cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
