For example, emitting the relations first would help somewhat. Maybe thinking about the structure further rather than using relations because they are there. Or make it easier to cope by providing much easier and less resource hungry means of managing this and/or a higher level api which abstracts some of the change and provides a better level of backward compatibility, at least for extending time. So for example "tell me what the road number(s) of this way are" irrespective of how they are stored, and "is this way the same as that one in respect of road number X"? and so on. etc etc.
