The "entry level editor" could reasonably limit new users to "entry

Messing with anything with a relation is not a first edit kind of
activity.
What if the entry level editor said "hey, this is too complex, map
something else
and gain some experience and come back to this section".
The barrier is still low.
In this case we'd have lost a series of updates to rivers and streams
(and nearby roads) that would be sadly missed. Many of the features in
this part of Wales haven't been updated for a while (in some cases since
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/99477 ) so definitely needed an
update.
I did something similar based on 1 day's mapping last year in the middle
of this area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/51.9571/-3.0490 so I
know how bad the "before" was in places.
Saying "you can't update anything that involves a relation" rules out
rivers and streams (borders), roads (turn restrictions), and many types
of landuse and buildings (multipolygons). I don't think that it's feasible.
Cheers,
Andy
