I was thinking about older planet dumps. If I remember, Frederik made
once a complete clean-up, including in older planet files. I guess it
is harder today with so many replication files available (full dumps +
diffs). So 'bad data' are never completely removed from OSM servers.
True. I think that if it were a problem we'd probably just stop
distributing certain old planet files rather than providing patched
versions of them.
If the server does store history there is the possibility of an issue. The
proper way to fix this would be to add information about the redaction API
calls to the replication diffs in a backwards-compatible way.
Yeah. Enhance the osc format is probably the best solution. Btw, is
the 'redaction API' documented somewhere ? I don't see any thing in
the main API wiki doc. Is it hiden because of the possible dammages or
is it limited to certain OSM user accounts ?
The redaction API is only available to users with moderator privileges,
which is currently more or less the members of DWG.
Bye
Frederik
