It certainly a useful project. I often come across npe streams, that
are in the wrong place and drawn with a tiny fraction of the nodes they
require, when adding PROW, hedges, fences and the like. For it to be
useful it needs to be done with care and an eye on what else is mapped.
We certainly can't just remove them and re-import without causing more
problems than we already have. My preference is to drag and add nodes
to improve what we have using a combination of OS Opendata, bing and
mapbox (much newer but less sharp imagery).

Also bear in mind that a stream mapped as source=npe may not be,
mappers do forget to remove the tag or leave it as they have only
corrected a short stretch that has got in the way at the time.
