Imports on such scale should be discussed before they're done, and 
documented after. In this case, a discussion would probably have yielded 
the recommendation to automatically detect duplicates.

Complete lack of discussion is reason enough for a revert in my opinion. 
I'd suggest contacting the importer and asking him where/how he has 
heard the community about his plans and whether he intends to fix the 
problems.

Bye
Frederik
