Here's what I did with bike repair stations:

1) Import the data *
2) Import a note at the same spot saying "this needs local input to finish
the mapping".

So the map got the basic data right away, plus a start on the processes of
engaging a local mapper to finalize things.
At the scale I used it for, it worked.  Real local mappers found the things
on the ground and finished the job.

With hamlets, the automated edit is a form of improvement.  Add local input
and you've got a great map.
