Why would we want to create new versions of objects just to remove a tag that is not hurting anybody in any way?
The correct way to handle this is to add the tag to the list of deprecated tags that should be automatically removed (essentially iD has a list and JOSM has one too), when and if the objects are ever edited the tags will then be removed.
