The duplicate nodes map is not the best example of this. People have sometimes
jumped in and done heavy edits not based on local knowledge. A bot that joined
roads to other roads (and only to other roads) at county boundaries would
actually be more constructive as we could then add a notice that this issue
with TIGER roads has been fixed completely.
