Well, I believe it once was functional, but it is of course prone to error and abuse. Everyone pressing the right button will change the designation of a tile. You can of course make some kind of weighting system so that one person pressing "land" will not change a sea tile to land, but that is of course even more work. And when all goes well and we don't f*ck up our climate too much (and not too many killer tsunami's occur), the coastline will not change much once everything is correct. I think a plugin for JOSM would be a wiser approach. That way you can still edit easily and have the added security of people having to identify themselves in order to upload changes.
