You could run a script to remove the signposts from the route relations. But, other than digging in the database history, there’s no script which could add them back (proximity of a sign to a route is not a valid criterion). So if you do so, information is indeed lost. Otherwise I can’t see why should it difficult to data consumer to strip the unwanted information before processing the route.
Unless the script preserves the information by storing it by alternative means, I would regard such a script as vandalism.

I suggest we delete them from all relations by running a script. I se no loss of information doing that and a benefit to data consumers wanting to sort and calculate the length and height profile of the relation which I think should only contain unclosed ways belonging to the route. What do you think?
