I'm in no way supporting the proposal, but this argument of 'it'll make
the entities look fully up to date" is illogical. If taken to it's
conclusion, nothing will ever be update again.
It's false to think that just because an entity was amended yesterday,
it means it's up to date:
If a typo in a road's name is amended, but the road is left incorrectly
tagged as 'tertiary' instead of 'primary' it's not up to date.
Likewise an entity previously amended 10 years ago doesn't mean it's
inaccurate.

Doing this would make over 3M objects have their date updated to the

It creates the illusion of data being up-to-date when all that was
changed was a tag key.

But would it be so impossible? (Not suggesting that it should
actually be done!)
Couldn't a bot be set to simply find all cases of man_made=,
regardless of what it is, & change them to human_made=, similar to
using Find & Replace in a Word document?
& no, as you can see, I don't understand the technicalities behind
it all, so please be gentle with explaining that I'm an idiot! :-)
Thanks
