[Imports-us] Portland Metro Area Building Import

[Rafa Gutierrez]

Frederik - Good point. As I understand it, the source stewards maintain
their building data daily. Public releases are published quarterly (which
is why I stated OSM fixes may happen before we receive new updates). I
mentioned your exact scenario to the stewards yesterday and awaiting a
response on their specifics of tracking building removal. This would be
useful to flag buildings that need removal if the OSM community hasn't
already fixed this.

Am I understanding your concern correctly?
