Agreed.  Quite aside from other considerations, the fuel cost and the 
wastage of having to do all this work again is staggering to the 
individuals concerned.

It's not as if it can be dome in a lifetime by waiting for OSM 
contributors to take all these roads again without going out of their way.

It wouldn't be nearly so bad if we could simply agree to the new terms 
for objects outside Nearmap coverage (and for future contributions), but 
have our "contaminated" work removed.
