The French are integrating the data of the cadastre, their surveys,
their local knowledge and Bing aerial images to improve
Openstreetmap.org as a whole. They are not doing a bulk import that
needs to be sorted out later on.
Anyone who uploads 10000 houses in one day does a bulk import.
Upload 100 houses and I'm prepared to believe you when you say it has
all been carefully "integrated" and checked with local knowledge and
aerial imagery.
But 10000 houses? Show me the brain that has enough "local knowledge" to
individually verify them, or show me the mapper who compares them
against aerial imagery. You may call it "integrating", but uploading
10000 houses is 99,9% cadastre, 0,1% survey/local knowledge/aerial
image/whatever.
There are many aspects about the French Cadastre import that can be
discussed. But the fact that it is an import is crystal clear and I'm
not prepared to discuss that any further.
Bye
