Hello,

I noticed in these changes that the Australian tagging guidelines have included this note about footpaths (sidewalks) in jurisdictions where cycling is allowed.

"

On all shared use paths which can be used by both pedestrians and cyclists. *Cycling is permitted on footpaths in ACT, NT, QLD, SA, Tas., and WA, and highway [1]=path [2] should be used in general circumstances. Refer to highway [1]=path [2] for further guidance on which supporting tags to use.

Is this accepted practice? To be this doesn't seem like a good idea: it seems like the same problem as explicitly tagging sidewalks as bicycle=no; if there is any change in legislation the tags won't make sense?

That's not what happened here. See these examples:

He simply indiscriminately removed all source tags from any loaded (into JOSM) object, even though he didn't touch these in any way. No tag changes
(outside of deleting the source tags), no geometry changes.

There is also that he seems to be deleting all source tags on any loaded
objects with many of his changesets.

I wrote a changeset comment on one of the changesets that do that,

When I make a change I delete the source tag when I'm using a different
source.

The new source can be seen on the changeset. The past source/s can be seen
using the history.

If there are no changes then there should be no change to any of the
existing tags - source or otherwise.
