Since the Facebook group does not have a publicly accessible archive, 
could you be so kind as to summarize the discussion, outlining what the 
"usual amount of healthy skepticism" was about and whether the different 
points of critique have been (a) addressed in the import plan or (b) 
considered irrelevant and if so, why?

There was a very large (90k changesets) undiscussed and quite harmful 
import of road data in Sweden end of last year where significant effort 
had been spent on making the import hard to detect and difficult to 
revert. If I remember correctly, that import suffered from having lots 
of small bits of track that connected to nothing. I hope there is zero 
relationship between that effort and what you are proposing here? Have 
any of the names on the list 
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-se/2020-December/003928.html) 
popped up anywhere in the Facebook discussion?

Bye
Frederik
