Hello,
Someone add in 2016 a check to warn the user about source=google in iD [1]
what's the feeling about that ?
does it lead people not to copy invalid sources?
or does it lead people not to inform that they are using
an invalid source?
I find the DWG's opinion particularly interesting.
if it leads people to become aware of the problem,
shouldn't we write a list of invalid sources to extend this feature?
I do not, of course, propose to make a list of all the existing sources,
but rather to take up the ones that have caused problems in the past,
for example by starting with the one listed as rejected in [2] or by
adding the sources that required extensive reverting in order to avoid
their recurrence.
