That data will be available, but it does not stop using the method to
add it to the OSM data currently. If you are adding 50 house numbers you
end up using the copy function to add a vast amount of data where one
only needs a small subset of that in practice! A lot of postcodes are
currently missing and it would be nice simply to import the raw missing
stuff, but it does not prevent good practice generally?
