See, the same applies to DWG as well. It is utterly trivial for someone 
to create a separate account for Cadastre work - a matter of five 
minutes, or less. So we wonder: Why is this such a big deal for people?

A Cadastre import is not something you do on a whim - it is something 
that you plan ahead, you prepare the files, do a lot of work 
(hopefully), so switching to your separate account for uploading a batch 
of Cadastre import is not a big deal either.

Now if someone is unwilling to do even this little bit of work in order 
to make it easier for the rest of the community - and that includes DWG 
- do clearly separate Cadastre from non-Cadastre work - what does that 
tell us about the diligence of that person otherwise?

A Cadastre import is something that should only be done by people who 
take this seriously, who are diligent, who know the rules and follow 
them - in tagging as well as elsewhere.

For someone who possesses all these skills, creating an extra import 
account should be easy.

There has been some discussion around the question of whether Cadastre 
work counts as an import or not. I am willing to accept that someone who 
uploads 100 houses is not importing something; it is conceivable that he 
has actually looked at every single one of these houses. But someone who 
uploads 10000 houses in one day is clearly making an import; there's no 
way these houses have really been individually (!) reviewed.

Frederik
