With import, do you mean import from FreeDB? If so, I disagree.
I add releases, not import them, but if FreeDB happens to be able to
help me flesh it out, then I'll let it, but it doesn't make a
difference to whether or not I'm doing it, just how quickly I'm able
to do it. I still have to spell and otherwise check the added
releases, even when using FreeDB. So yes, it's less work, but I
wouldn't say it was worth less. I could enter it all by hand, it would
just take twice as much time and no one would be any happier from it.

Anyway, this is also way off-topic, so I'll let it be until it is
brought up on-topic. (I might also be able to formulate my concerns
better at that time...)
