If anyone is really interested in it, it might be a good oppurtunity to 
do something with the present data of OSM (by means of Tiger) and the 
update algorithms in Mapgenerator[1].

In that way one can import new data over old data and get updated roads 
while maintaining its properties. If the data gets out of a certain 
threshold it can branch off in a new direction itself.
