No plans yet. My current focus is to get rid of all the old cases. Once
that is (mostly) done, we can see how things develop.

Looking at the graphs on http://area.jochentopf.com/stats you can see
that the number of (multi)polygons is growing steadily, while the number
of errors has been more or less flat over the last half year. So either
there are not a significant amount of new problems or old problems are
being fixed as fast as new problems are introduced. Both leads me to
believe that existing QA tools and/or better editors than we had
historically keep this problem in check. But, as I said, we'll first
need to get the number of errors down to low level and see how things
look then.

And maybe when there are less cases we can better see specific problems
creeping up that can be solved by improving editors etc.
