[Imports] Import/Bulk Edit classifications

[Paul Norman]

I had originally posted some of this to a wiki talk page, but 

On interesting (for those who careabout this) question that's come up is how
to classify the range of imports.

On the one end, we have the typical large imports ranging from TIGER and
Corine to CanVec and European cadastral data

On the other end, we have cases like the cyclestreets snapshot-server and
potlatch2 setup where properties and vectors can be brought through from a
background layer.

Some other interesting cases (some hypothetical, or with changed names)

- The Czech community used a bot to fix problems with borders in the area.
The bot also used an external data source in the process. Is this an import?
Mechanical edit? Bot?

- I surveyed a new interchange but didn't get a usable GPS trace for all of
the overpasses. I had a data source that agreed with my survey and was more
complete, so I used it instead. I spent a significant amount of time making
sure all the relations and tagging not in the source (e.g. bike access) was
carried over. Is this an import? In this case it was CanVec so I could
handle it either as an import or not, but I have other sources for other
areas that are legally compatible used that haven't gone through any import
consultation. 

I'm sure people are using data sources in ways I haven't thought of yet, and
I'd be interested in hearing about those too.

This is fairly open-ended because I not only don't know the answers, I don't
know the questions.
