+1. 

Quite funny actually that the parallel discussion on « how we map »
clearly states : 

In talking to other mappers, always ASSUME GOOD INTENTIONS. 

and drew no bad attention, but does not seems to be accepted for the
notes mappers (meaning creators, as in « I don't know to map, adding a
note is here for me »). Do that mean that anonymous notes should just
not be allowed ? 

(TLDR: also quite funny that on the discussion on importing the
bicycle_repair_station on talk and import, the note db could be imported
into with little regard to quality, but not the main one. Still
wondering if this note db is just considered a shitty one somewhere that
no one wants to see.)
