Hi Joost,

That would also be a lot of work btw, very small changesets.  I don't
really like reverts (unchecked) as it tends to throw away the baby with
the water.

I agree, I tend not to fix the blame, I rather fix the problem.

If I had to guess, that would also be mine, perhaps communication
problem to the person doing the work.

I'll try and make a Q/A tool for this, if I have the datasets.  I'm
messing about with the GRB dataset again, might throw in the roads as
well.  primary/secondary roads are a relatively small dataset.  As long
as the problems isn't the source data, we can detect those.

Wouldn't it be nice if we got paid for edit work ? :)
