I object.
An ID tag is highly useful for future reconciliation and/or
synchronization later.
I used to agree with you, but in terms of minimum labor, updates are
best performed by retaining the original upload data, then doing a
conflation between the original data and a later update. That will
highlight only changes from the original source, and only those
differences will need to be manually merged into OSM.
Except you won't see possible errors introduced after the first import by
OSM editors. I think it's useful to see the diff between the current state
of both databases.
