Likewise, there is no way to read the minds of the "OSM community" when the docs are fragmented and at times at odds with themselves. 7 years ago I brought in the data a few blocks at a time, hardly a mass import. And only for my own small neighborhood, not the whole city. Every time my contributions get erased, it's because of a dubious "community consensus" that doesn't help add anything to the map. Might get around to commenting on this on numerous other mass deletions. Might not.
