Thanks for letting us know.

I checked out one particular changeset, 35907472, looking at the
geometry changes at
http://osmhv.openstreetmap.de/changeset.jsp?id=35907472.

It appears like there is some missing data which they have added
(which is great).

But it also appears that they have removed finer details (which seem
legitimate when comparing against the aerial imagery) of other
existing geometry (which is bad, and in my opinion we need to revert
back).

I don't know what we should do about this since some parts of the
changeset appear to be constructive some appear slightly destructive
(no loss of features, just some slight loss of detail).
