It is "after the weekend" in Central Europe ;-) and I've started the 
automated edit. I deliberately made it a slow process in order not to 
upset any downstream systems so I expect it to run for a few days. 
Individual changesets are created for each county, so if you want me to 
revert something later that is not going to be a problem.

You can follow progress here:

Re: Bill Ricker's suggestion of flagging the dangling motorway_links, 
that is certainly possible and easy for me to do if you want it (I'd 
suggest something like "FIXME=this motorway_link does not seem to be 
connected to a motorway" or so).

Bye
