I think that even imports that are well executed *technically* are
usually bad because they worsen the ratio of "mapper hours available to
maintain data" to "amount of data requiring maintenance".
Imports should only be allowed if there is a realistic expecation that
the presence of the imported data will lead to a growth in our community
of about the number of people that would have been required to survey
the imported data in the first place.
