I do hear you loudly and clearly that very large bbox extents make changes difficult for one human mind to grasp (for various reasons). However, it remains true that edits which happen at a, say, continental level (I do "take a deep breath" before I do so, but I always, as is true with all my edits, do so with a commitment to correctness and high quality) are not necessarily "always wrong" or even "suspect" but can be "grasped" with cogent explanation. Good communication (to and from the author, perhaps including wider community participation, as here) really does help.<br>

I think we are seeing some sausage being made here. Not to say "that's all" (which feel dismissive and I don't want to do that) but "talking it out more" is better than "talking it out less" (or not at all).<br></blockquote><div>1) Thanks for your comments Steve!</div><div>2) Some changesets, such as those impacting cycle networks, will necessarily be large, I understand and accept that. <br></div><div>3) I would be ok with the changesets here if they had been discussed with the community and documented ahead of time, although during the discussion I would have pushed for smaller bounding boxes, which is entirely possible with the type of changes we are talking about.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Mike<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
