Really? I've always thought our user's ground truth would be trumping data
we'd import, i.e. we'd request from importers not to drop features that are
already there, but to conflate in the opposite way, drop from the external
data set the stuff that we already have, before importing the rest. Did I
read you right? Can you explain why you changed your mind?

FWIW, if this usable open address dataset became available in Italy I'd
still insist on keeping the already present data and merge just the rest of
the public open data.

Cheers,
Martin
