It is your opinion that you have not destroyed any work, but this is one of

STOP ! I do not read you after this sentence (I will do it after writing this
answer).
Now that you have read the rest of the message what is your answer?
I have nothing to do with DWG but I support their action simply because this
needs to be sorted properly, and as far as *I* am concerned it hasn't been.
What is missing is LINKING to the existing imported data rather than
unilaterally deciding it can be destroyed ... did you discuss destroying it with
anybody?
This is not an opinion : I select specificaly the old buildings (untouched since
the first import in 2010) using JOSM search tool, then importing a new set of data,
then undouble and check using the validator ! I spent more than 2 (two) days of
work in order to produce that work ! I'm not a newbe discovering JOSM & OSM. Of
course, like everyone I could have done errors, but I do (more than) my best. And
again nobody complains about vandalism or destroying data : that's not the point !
And another 'request' is that changes are committed every 30 minutes or so, not
after 2 days work. The CORRECT procedure would have been to take a block of
buildings at a time. If you have to delete the existing data then at least it's
more easily linked to the new smaller import.
