Worst part is that most editors try to connect new nodes to existing
elements. Connecting land cover with the road network is non-sense --
they rather should be aligned.

In order to avoid problems, one needs to filter CLC data from the
editor. By doing so, people automatically stop looking at landuse. No
improvement by local mappers.

Although I initially liked the colourful map, I quickly started to hate
the big chunks of (multi-)polygons created by CLC imports ... for
"ordinary" mapping.

So I fully agree: Rather don't import CLC. It may be used as inspiration
by local mappers after they've done manual mapping of other features.

To re-iterate others: A white map inspires more improvement than a
colourful one.
