Richard, thank you. The reversion is coming up in Mapnik now -- I
didn't have to check in an editor after all -- and things look back to
normal as far as I can tell. If there are glitches, they can't be very
widespread.

I notice that the addr:interpolation ways are still there, which all
in all I think is a good thing. They can be a little off in some of
the newer developments (e.g., around Wilfrid-Lavigne north of
Allumettières); older streets match up better with the
addr:interpolation ways. And it's somewhat ghostly to see them where
there are no streets. These are things that can be tweaked manually --
but still less work than we would otherwise have faced. [1]

I'm reluctant to trace in street ways between the ghost
addr:interpolation ways without confirming on the ground the existence
of the street, in case the imported data includes streets on the
drawing boards that have not yet been built (which I spotted in at
least a couple of areas, unless the City of Gatineau has been busy
over the winter). I plan on surveying these streets in the spring,
unless someone else who lives closer beats me to it.
