   Even a proper reversion script will cause much collateral damage for 
the cases I'm aware of.   In at least one case a local mapper has passed 
away and I built some more complex objects top of some of his objects. 
  In another case, another local mapper has done much of the road 
improvements over a large area of our state.   Regional routability will 
go back to initial TIGER state for all practical purposes, as well as 
removing his objects.
