Maintainability is probably a bigger issue than notability. Roads,  
railways and canals don't move much, rivers hardly at all - we can  
cope with maintaining that sort of database.

But where people have gone into vast amounts of detail on something  
that changes rapidly, such as shops on a High Street, the data will  
get out of date very quickly unless they're prepared to return and  
resurvey frequently. Here's an example (fortunately not rendered by  
any of the main renderers): http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?
