+1
And with the time, the original imports will more and more (given an
active community) fade towards cloudbased human mapping.

I also don't share the fear that there will on the long run a growing
amount of imports but rather guess that imports will become less,
because it becomes always more complicated to import stuff, when half
of it is already present in OSM, while it was easy to import into an
empty map.
