[Talk-us] Over-digitized imports?

Computer storage and processing time are relatively cheap and only getting
cheaper at an exponential rate.

OSM volunteer time is very limited.

Given those facts I wouldn't worry about "unsmoothing" except in
particularly egregious cases. I just don't see the benefit in decreased
storage and processing costs as being worth anywhere near the cost in man
hours it would take to do the "unsmoothing" work.

Cheers,
Greg
