Because anyone who imports data and runs a bot can make large changes to the
database with little effort the OSM community expects them to behave
themselves while doing so; this is, for instance, expressed in the wiki pages
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits/Code_of_Conduct .
People who write editing tools can also exert a lot of leverage, for instance
by having their programs used by mappers who are less skilled and experienced
than they are themselves. What do you see as being the standards the community
expects of editor writers?
