I'm not feeling more responsible for data created by other OSM

I think the point is more about contributing in areas almost empty or
in areas almost well mapped (whatever it is completed by contributors
or imports). The first is "creation" and you see immediately the
effect on the rendered maps, the second is "maintenance" and is much
less funny. That's two different types of contributions and two
different public.

The problem exists - of course, and yet it is visible mainly at bit imports,
but in future we will have changing mappers: People stop mapping, new
generations of mappers start.
For these people we need motivation strategies to check, update and
optimize data already mapped.
Same thing is with imports, but I think, that's only the first part of
the problem obvious now.
Stopping imports will not help to solve the overall problem.
