Re: [OSM-talk] proposed mechanical edit - moving FIXME=* to fixme=*

I don't see a problem with this as the major concerns: big edit boundaries, what does it affect? are taken care of by documentation if building=building is not or was not a wiki approved way of tagging, this seems more on the side of linting osm tags than it does a "mass blind edit"/import On
