[Talk-GB] OSM Analysis New Data and bot

Since it looks likely that a bot is going to be run to add OS Locator
names to unnamed British roads - something I strongly disagree with, but
I can't stop - I demand that it is tagged with a common-sense, clear tag
to show where this has happened. This should not be the bonkers cock-up
that was described in the speed limit nonsense, and not a source tag,
since many existing roads will have a source tag, e.g. source=survey.
Verified=no does not say what is to be verified.
I despair that the lazy, armchair mappers are taking over, but as I say,
there's little I can do to stop it.
If people want an carbon copy of OS datasets, why not just use OS
datasets and let OSM mature into the best map of the world rather than a
pastiche of imports.
