Using a dedicated account for imports is one of the few "musts". Nakaner
may be being a little officious here, but not following import rules can
result in reversion and possible user blocks.

A paper published in the last couple of years (by Anita Graser, maybe?)
showed that CanVec imports were the largest source of spurious precision
in the entire OSM database. I can see why European mappers might want to
delete them.

cheers,
