what about "created" tags? they are pretty much useless too. 2G difference on the uncompressed planet file.Now that the editors are ignoring the created_by tag when creating andchanging objects, the tag will slowly decrease over time. There is no point in creating a huge number of changesets and downstream activity for that, when it will naturally occur without any manual editing by the user.Should the editors be changed to automatically remove created_by? Or maybe just well-known values like /JOSM.*/, /Potlatch.*/?
The created by tag should now be on the changeset, i.e. one level up.JOSM recently (1735 & 1720) implemented a change where all the created_by tags are dropped. That was the original intention when changesets were introduced.
You can use the history to get the old versions of the created_by tag prior to the changeset introduction.
