There were also mistakes made like reverting the items anthony had
deleted only after most of the cleanup/improvement work had already
been done. Live an learn.

Even a proper reversion script will cause much collateral damage for the cases I'm aware of. In at least one case a local mapper has passed away and I built some more complex objects top of some of his objects. In another case, another local mapper has done much of the road improvements over a large area of our state. Regional routability will go back to initial TIGER state for all practical purposes, as well as removing his objects.
