[OSM-talk] Create extra Planet files for syncing (was: Bad coastline)

That's a problem I am having (for the Geofabrik Excerpts) as well - once 
a daily diff has failed, I'm stuck for the rest of the week. Actually 
this time I simply applied the new diffs anyway, ignoring possible 
consistency problems, but it's not the best thing.

Would it be possible to issue "extra" planet dumps after events that 
disrupt the diff chain, like we had last week? So that those who rely on 
diffs for a current version of the data have a clean start to work on, 
without having to wait for the next regular planet?

What does OSMXAPI do in cases like these?

Bye
