How many more people have to express an opinion that differs to yours
before you will accept the fact that people do want the ability to
import data, not to mention the ability to keep existing work.

I really wish someone would have the backbone to fess up and say OSM
will now go in this direction, or OSM is going in that direction,
because frankly the indecisiveness is turning existing and potential
contributors away.
