 Ah ok, fair enough.

 > I've set it to won't fix now so that people don't keep reopening this
 bug just because there is still some bad data left.

 I don't think the status/resolution of the bug is about telling people not
 to reopen it but you can use it however you like.

 > Reimports happen infrequently, I can't tell you when the next one is
 going to be and we've never explicitly announced them as they happen
 without any downtime.

 It would be really nice to have a way to track that. I imagine we wont be
 the only one finding such bugs.

 > If your tests rely on our servers always delivering the same data then
 you might want to reconsider your test strategy. OSM is a live database
 with lots of editing happening and breaks like this can happen.

 Its fine for tests to break every now and then and us having to either
 update our test cases or Nominatim database.

 > If you need the country information, you should use country_code from
 the address details as a fallback.

 The issue is that we are testing localization in this case and
 country_code is not localized. Also country name (along with place's name
 and state etc) is used to create a nice user-friendly name for each search
 result in geocode-glib. We are also testing that code here. Country name
 is important here because the same place exists in other countries and
 this code of ours is therefore supposed to include the country name in the
 friendly name.
