Imports should be done with care and attention and reflection. Not as 
'open this county GIS file, hit upload'.


Also note that there is a major shortcoming in this first release: 
editing relations is not supported, and that wouldn't be so terribly bad 
if it were not for this:

"Deleting a point, line, or polygon can have an effect of changing the 
relation in which the feature participates."

Caveat emptor
