I’m exactly one of those users: once I’ve confirmed or fixed the object, I 
delete the tag, so this is still useful for me as a kind of to-do list.

I also delete tiger:reviewed=yes tags when otherwise editing an object.

Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Drop the tiger:reviewed tag from roads

I believe folks still use it in places to indicate that no-one has reviewed it 
on the ground, but I cannot find the thread(s) where that was brought up. 

I think a mechanical removal may be a bit overzealous, even though I personally 
wouldn't shed a tear. As long as there is at least one tag left that would 
indicate TIGER as the original source, so we can continue to detect 'unmodified 
TIGER' roads.

The tag, tiger:reviewed that is left over from the 2006/7 import of TIGER roads

Thurston County WA. It's on version 6 yet still has tiger:reviewed=no. Note I 
picked this street at random from a overpass query [2]. I see this tag all the 
time. It's time to get rid of it. Not through a mechanical edit, but by editors 
making changes to roads.

I'm proposing to open a ticket for JOSM to add this tag to the list of 
discarded tags. I'd like to hear if there are any objects or think this is a 
good idea.

I did learn from Toby Murray this morning that you can add tiger:reviewed to 
the list of discarded tags in JOSM by going to preferences->Advanced 
Preferences and adding tiger:reviewed to tags.discardable. Then just reload 
JOSM for the changed to be active.
