+1, I also see no point in these source tags, either the information is correct 
or I'll correct it, I don't mind where the problem comes from (outdated 
imagery, bad interpretation of imagery, a change to the real world object, a 
confused mapper, etc.). Source tags mostly serve armchair mappers, who don't 
know the situation on the ground so they have to guess whether their own guess 
is better than what is mapped --- simply don't do it ;-)

The only reason I add source tags to changesets is hoping that armchair mappers 
will refrain from modifying things that are survey based, if they only use 
aerial imagery without on the ground knowledge.

Cheers,
Martin
