True. A potential "con" for OSM could be that Wikipedia has different standards of how to establish boundaries than OSM, and that Wikipedia users could turn to OSM to "fix" things according to Wikipedia standards. For example, OSM often gets emails saying "the UN have approved this therefore it must be in your data" (or "the UN have not approved this therefore it must not"), but whether or not the UN have approved something is not what governs our mapping. We'd have to explain to Wikipedia users that what they see on our maps might not be what they expect, and that we do *not* want them to fix it...
