I agree that the only legal sound way to do it is by removing all dependent data. But we can't even tell what data depends on data from contributors who didn't give permission... Suppose I split a way into two parts. The second part now gets uploaded as a completely new object, with nothing in its history pointing towards its origin. Or another example: I can align the outline of a forest to the road which I know is its boundary. So the forest is also a dependency, but not a single clue in the database the two might be related to each other. That's all becoming quite a minefield really.
