The wiki says: "lone or significant" tree and I interpret that as a
prominent tree.

Not quite. I have added only a few trees myself. I say this is destructive
as about 2400 Mappers appear to have been doing "the right thing" while 75%
of the "bad" trees are from only 3 mass imports.

...as well as global stats by somebody else which show roughly the same.

Somewhat like that. I think nullifying 4 years of work by 2400 people who
are not here to voice their opinion is thoughtless, unfriendly, destructive
- anything but an adequate solution.

I am game for any solution that does not destroy existing data.
