Current thinking is to use a separate account for bulk imports.
Occasionally things go wrong and its easier to roll back under a separate
account. Having said that when the import is merged with existing data in
JOSM then uploaded things become not so black and white.
In general with the new CT that allows OSM to alter the license on your
contributions in the future it is more difficult to agree to any license
that the imports have unless its in the public domain.
CommonMap is being set up with imports in mind, OSM is becoming less import
friendly.
