So why have people been recommending for months that we remap tainted 
objects when we still don't know what needs to be remapped? This isn't a 
rare case, but happens frequently across the U.S. Maybe it's different 
in places where mappers have not been able to take advantage of road 
network imports, but most tainted roads I have seen have started out 
from TIGER.
