Hi,

I'm wondering if Potlach and JOSM are actively removing the pre-0.6
created_by tag at the feature level when uploading?
Would that be desirable/acceptable?


They are, and have been since soon after API 0.6 went live.

I think it's desirable. They'll still be available in the object 
history, and the removal is packed in with a real edit, so no 
superfluous edits needed just to remove the created_by. It's a matter of 
attrition now. Very slow attrition nonetheless.

So do I.

I wonder why a bot hasn't been run to remove them all.
I guess that would slim the planet measurably...

And increase the database considerably. So thats why it won't hurt if 
editors remove it while something useful happens.
