Hi all,

Just by accident during my work on OWL I encountered couple of changesets done by the woodpeck_repair account that are reverting some automated changes which removed deprecated tags. For example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/14236131
which reverts
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/14211906

I am just curious what is the point of such revert? It seems to me that the original edit was good (replacing deprecated tags). Perhaps it was not discussed as the woodpeck_repair's comment suggests but still it does not merit a revert - or am I missing something?

For me such reverts just introduce unneeded clutter in the history database - thousands of new versions in the history. And the end result will be that this revert will then again be slowly reverted by individual mappers replacing deprecated tags...

Can someone (perhaps Frederik as the opreator of this bot?) explain what is the reasoning behind reverts like this?

Paweł
