I was not considering auto remove list before, I will think about it and maybe I will propose adding it to a delete list of JOSM and iD (maybe also Vespucci if it has one). For "prefer" - is it "against automated edit" or "against automated edit if auto remove list would be rejected" or "some other solution would be better but automated edit is acceptable"? > > I strongly object to doing this in a *recurring* fashion for two reasons: > OK, I will drop recurring part.

Certainly I would not require adding pointless tags to OSM database (this would be ridiculous especially as most my bot edits are "this tag should be gone as it is pointless/confusing").
