Short answer yes, I'm taking responsibility! I've put in a temporary join on
on the US side so it's a complete object while I fix up the Canadian side. At
the rate I'm going I should be tomorrow.
As for same level of accuracy... that's why I'm deleting it. ;) The
coastline data is currently way way out of whack, there's an entire campground
under water, chains of islands represented as a small square, and much more...
CanVec isn't 100% accurate but it's about 200% more accurate than what's there
now.
The problem with ignoring the data is we get many duplicate objects and other
problem in OSM after upload. (which, in the past, I've already been yelled at
for) Since I'm dealing with an area that has about 90 CanVec 25k tiles
there's no way to do it at once. So my solution was to just join the coastline
to the canvec water grids as I go...
In anycase... it will be completed soon, as long as I don't get too distracted
replying to peoples e-mails ;-)
If you are going to delete many miles of coastline data, are you
then going to take the responsibility for re-entering this data
afterwards, to at least the same level of accuracy as the current
data? It seems to me that it would be better to tell your editor
program not to display the coastline during your editing session.
After all, there are likely to be some people who want to render the
coastline, and they won't be able to do so if you have deleted the
data.
