Heh, we need TIGER FAQ.  We didn't handle existing data at all.  There
were perhaps one or two counties that got skipped.  But, the other 3000
or so were just written over with the approval of the existing mappers.
We didn't remove existing data and let the existing mappers just merge
everything.

I'm not sure I ever even got a single complaint about that approach.
