Perhaps the principle OSM editors could emit a warning whenever an edit is undertaken which could invalidate a relation, also noting how many other ways would be affected. This at least would give mappers a chance to consider carefully whether they really know what they are doing.

I'm afraid part of the price of having "extremely high standards" for relations is 
eternal vigilance. It is exteremely easy to inadvertantly (subtly) "break" route 
relations and I think most average-skilled mappers will have probably done it a few times.

It would be unreasonable to expect ways with route relations on them to be considered 
"hallowed ground" and only to be edited by those skilled enough to leave the 
relations in perfect order.
