Oh please. Watch the current data, not 3 years old archives. Also have
a look in the main French towns, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Strasbourg,
Bordeaux, etc today. Of course, when the import is so long and done by
hundreds different contributors, it always easy to find some of them
who did not follow the guideline. But is it a reason to criticize the
whole process which is mainly a big success ? Such mistakes are fixed
when they are detected, like all others. It's not complicated and
doesn't need to be on site. Would you prefer to wait until perfect
data are published by the gouvernment ? Do you think that OSM
contributors always waited until they had perfect data to start
contributing ?
