1. This is all predicated on the data being of high quality,
appropriate for OSM, timely, etc.

2. If there's existing data, a human is better at doing
reconciliation, ie merging what we already have with what's there now.

3. We want this data maintained by people, so I'd rather have a human
oversee the work, even if that's a little extra work. I'd be in favor
of computer assisted work, but that's not what the types of inserts
you're proposing are.
