I think that's a little harsh - David Earl mapped the university in the _very_ early days of the project. There's stuff there dating back to 2006/2007. Cambridge was the first place to be mapped in great detail in the UK - even in 2011 I remember giving a talk at Oxford Geek Nights where I could still hold Cambridge up as an exemplar of how to do it. You can imagine how well that went down in Oxford. ;) So it wasn't really "going against accepted tagging procedures", because tagging was still very much evolving back then. Fully in agreement that the time has come to update the tagging, but that's just a result of OSM changing - there's no need for any rancour against the original mappers.
