Great care has to be taken with such large import projects and I don't
like to hear words like "soon" in that context. Ideally we'd like people
familiar with an area to add and check the address points; they would
then also notice things like an address point located on water or along
a missing road and so on. I'd rather have a slow import that takes care
of these issues than a quick "we can still fix later" job that will make
Australia look like this

or like this

I'd prever surveyed information over deduced information any time...
