Dear everyone, I noticed a series of redactions [0, 1, 2] by "pnorman redaction revert" within our area. I don't intend to discuss the merits of the redaction here since upon looking at the 3 changesets, it seems to me that the removal of data is valid (based on the changeset comment "Redaction of Google as a source").
In some cases, I also do reverts around my patch if I know that the source is tainted. My question is, in what case should we ourselves revert or ask the DWG for redaction? AFAIK, redaction "hides" the version history of the redacted changeset/feature [3] as against a regular revert which still includes the complete history. However, reverts (using JOSM) is much easier (and faster) since it doesn't need moderator privileges and regular users can do it.
