It's my view that odbl=clean is essentially a loophole - that is, if the
OSMF actually pays attention to it when mass-reverting. But given that
it seems to be accepted, I'm wondering about the following case:
A non-agreeing mapper changes a bunch of roads from residential to
secondary, using essentially an algorithmic approach (a certain subset
of the state highway system).
Several years later, I go through and create relations for these routes,
as well as demoting some of the less-major ones to tertiary.
If the mass-revert were to go forward now, those that I changed would
remain tertiary, while those I didn't would go back to residential (as
imported from TIGER). This is obviously not an ideal state of affairs.
So my question is whether this would be an appropriate usage of
odbl=clean. In other words, if that mapper had not changed it from
residential to secondary, would I have done the same? If so, can I add
the tag?
(Apologies if this belongs in tagging, since it's about use of a tag.)
