I'm sure Muki's working on it. ;)

My contention is that the US community is still struggling with such basic
issues because it didn't have the shared experience of creating a map from
scratch, whereas the UK and Germany, largely import-free, have strong
communities built out of this experience.

This might be wrong, and if the US's problems spring from something other
than the big import, I'd be very interested to know what. The old canard of
"but the US is so _big_" doesn't count :)
