What do you think the options are for fixing this? I'm aware of an import 
that was done without consultation with the local community, with 
questionable tagging and bad data quality. To top it off, the import had 
technical problems which lead to some of the objects being fixed by 
xybot. Do you think the best option for imports like that is for them to be
reverted?
