<div>There are examples for this like the US, Friuli Venezia
Giulia (buildings), maybe France (landcover + cadastre) and
the Netherlands, but this is still not globally the case, and
I would hope it will not get to this point. You are relatively
new here Sergio and may not know the history of OSM, also in
Italy where you map, most data was mapped by mappers. Notable
Italian exceptions may be Friuli Venezia Giulia,
administrative boundaries by ISTAT, fuel station import last
year, some locally confined imports in some municipalities.</div>
